The defect
The headlamps do not comply with photometric and beam pattern location requirements of fmvss no. 108. consequence of defect: headlamps were made in such a manner that if aimed on the vehicle with a mechanical aiming device, the beam would be low and slightly to the left, thereby reducing seeing distance when headlamps are operating on low beam.
The remedy
The nonconformance will be corrected by replacement of headlamps.
