The headlamp assemblies described above do not comply with FMVSS 108 S8.1.11 which requires amber side reflect reflectors to “conform to the photometry requirements of Table XVI-a when tested according to the procedure of S14.2.3 for the reflex reflector color as specified by this section.”

 

SERVICE ACTION

FCA US will conduct a voluntary safety recall on all affected headlamp assemblies. Remedy is under development and not currently available. Dealers will be notified of the launch of this safety recall by way of established communication methods. This recall is estimated to launch in 4th Quarter of 2022.

Service Procedure

A. Headlamp Replacement

  1. Open the hood.

 

  1. Disconnect and isolate the negative battery cable terminal from the remote battery post (Figure 1).

 

  1. Remove the five push pins to release the grill from the air  duct and the radiator support (Figure 2).

  1. Raise and support the vehicle.

 

  1. Right side of the vehicle, remove three push pins securing the front fascia to the wheel house splash shield (Figure 4).

 

  1. Right side of the vehicle, remove the screw attaching the front fascia to the fender in the wheel house opening (Figure 4).

 

NOTE: Right side wheelhouse splash shield may be flexed out of the way to reach behind fascia. Left side wheelhouse splash shield must be removed due to battery tray not allowing splash shield to be flexed to reach behind fascia.

 

  1. Left side of the vehicle, remove the eight push pins securing the front lower splash shield then remove the front lower splash shield (Figure 5).

 

  1. Left side of the vehicle, remove the screw attaching the front fascia to the fender in the wheel house opening (Figure 5).

 

  1. Lower the vehicle.

 

  1. Right side of the vehicle, flex the wheelhouse splash shield out of the way enough to reach behind the fascia. Release the front fascia tabs from the retaining bracket to separate the fascia from the fender (Figure 6).

 

  1. Right side of the vehicle, slide the fascia out of the Front End Module (FEM) fascia alignment tab under the headlamp (Figure 6).

 

  1. Left side of the vehicle, reach behind the fascia. Release the front fascia tabs from the retaining bracket to separate the fascia from the fender (Figure 6).

 

  1. Right side of the vehicle, slide the fascia out of the FEM fascia alignment tab under the headlamp (Figure 6).

 

  1. Right and/or Left side of the vehicle as needed. Remove the three screws that secure the front lamp to the FEM (Figure 7).

 

  1. Right and/or Left side of the vehicle as needed. Pull the front lamp away from the FEM far enough to access and disconnect the lamp bulb wire harness connectors from the back of the lamp housing (Figure 8).

 

  1. Right and/or Left side of the vehicle as needed. Remove the front lamp from the   vehicle (Figure 8).

 

  1. Render the recalled headlamps unusable and discard.

 

  1. Right and/or Left side of the vehicle as needed. Position the NEW front lamp unit to the front of the vehicle.

 

  1. Right and/or Left side of the vehicle as needed. Connect the headlamp bulb wire harness connectors to the back of the lamp housing.

 

  1. Right and/or Left side of the vehicle as needed. Position the front lamp unit into the FEM.

 

  1. Right and/or Left side of the vehicle as needed. Install the three screws that secure the front lamp to the FEM. Tighten the screws to 6.5 N·m (58 In. lbs.) (Figure 7).

 

  1. Both right and left side of the vehicle. Slide the fascia into the FEM fascia alignment tab under the headlamp (Figure 6).

 

  1. Both right and left side of the vehicle. Insert and snap into place the fascia tabs at the retainer bracket (Figure 6).

 

  1. Raise and support the vehicle.

 

  1. Left side of the vehicle, install and tighten the screw attaching the front fascia to the fender in the front wheel house opening (Figure 5).

 

  1. Left side of the vehicle, install the front wheel house lower splash shield to the vehicle then install the eight push pins securing the splash shield (Figure 5).

 

  1. Right side of the vehicle, install and tighten the screw attaching the front fascia to the fender in the front wheel house opening (Figure 4).

 

  1. Right side of the vehicle, install the three push pins securing the front fascia to the front wheel house splash shield (Figure 4).

 

  1. Lower the vehicle.

 

  1. Position the grill to the fascia. The center tab is for grill alignment only not a retaining tab. Engage the six retaining tabs that secure the grill to the fascia (Figure 3).

 

  1. Install the five push pins to secure the grill to the air duct and the radiator support (Figure 2).

 

  1. Connect the negative battery cable terminal to the remote battery post. Tighten the nut to 28 N·m (18 ft. lbs.) (Figure 1).

 

  1. Proceed to Section B Headlamp Alignment.

 

B.  Headlamp Alignment

  1. If the vehicle is equipped with headlamp leveling, be certain that the headlamp leveling switch is in the 0 (zero) position.

 

  1. Verify proper tire inflation pressures.

 

  1. Verify that there is no load in the vehicle (cargo or passengers), except for the driver.

 

  1. The fuel tank should be FULL. Add 2.94 kilograms (6.5 pounds) of weight over the fuel tank for each estimated gallon of missing fuel.

 

Steps 5 – 12 will prepare a suitable headlamp alignment screen (Figure 9).

  1. Tape a line on a level floor 7.62 meters (25 feet) away (1) from and parallel to the flat wall that will be used as the lamp alignment screen. The level floor will be used as the horizontal zero reference (Figure 9).

 

  1. An adjacent wall or floor member that is perpendicular (2) to the alignment screen can be used as the vertical zero reference. If there is no adjacent wall or floor member that is perpendicular to the screen, tape a second line on the floor perpendicular to both the alignment screen and the first line, and outboard of either side of where the vehicle will be positioned. This will be used as the vertical zero reference (Figure 9).

 

  1. Position the vehicle so that the side of the vehicle is parallel to the vertical zero reference, and so that the front of the lamp lenses are in the vertical plane of the parallel line taped on the floor 7.62 meters (25 feet) away (1) from the screen (Figure 9).

 

  1. Rock the vehicle side-to-side three times to allow the suspension to stabilize.

 

  1. Jounce the front suspension three times by pushing downward on the front bumper and releasing.

 

  1. Measure the distance between the optical center of one of the headlamps and the floor (6) (horizontal zero reference). Transfer this measurement to the alignment screen with a piece of tape placed horizontally to the floor. This line will be used as the lamp horizontal reference (Figure 9).

 

  1. Measure the distance between the vertical zero reference and the optical center of the first headlamp being aimed. Transfer this measurement (7) to the alignment screen with a piece of tape placed vertically across the appropriate headlamp horizontal reference. This is the centerline reference for the first lamp (Figure 9).

 

  1. Measure the distance on center between the first and the second headlamp (8) being aimed. Transfer this measurement to the alignment screen with a second piece of tape placed vertically across the appropriate headlamp horizontal reference. This is the centerline reference for the second lamp (Figure 9).

 

NOTE: Due to the linear nature of the headlamp cutoff, a properly aimed low beam headlamp will project the top edge of the high intensity pattern on the alignment screen just below the horizontal line to 50 millimeters (2 inches) below the horizontal line for domestic market vehicles, or to 130 millimeters (5.12 inches) below the horizontal line for export market vehicles. No horizontal (right/left) adjustment is required for this headlamp beam pattern in domestic market vehicles. Export market vehicles have a second horizontal (right/left) adjustment screw provided on the outboard side of the headlamp unit rear housing. The high beam pattern will be correct when the low beams are properly aimed.

 

  1. Turn the headlamps ON and select the LOW beams.

 

  1. Rotate the vertical adjustment screw on each front lamp unit to adjust the beam height as required (Figure 10).

 

  1. Turn off the headlamps.

 

  1. Close the hood.
