⚠️ What's wrong

The visual optical aiming headlamps and the low beam horizontal adjustment mechanism were not adequately secured to prevent adjustment after manufacture.

Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
