The defect

The circuit wiring on these vehicles IS arranged so that a short circuit in the rear taillights will also result in loss of power to the headlamps. For safety reasons the lighting system wiring should be independent.

The remedy

Vehicles will have an automatic reset circuit breaker installed to ensure continued headlamp illumination in the event of a short in other lighting systems.
