The hazard

AS A RESULT THE LOW BEAM LAMPS ARE EXTIGUISHED AS INTENDED, BUT THE HIGH BEAM LAMPS ARE NOT ILLUMINATED. RETURNING THE SWITCH TO THE LOW BEAM POSITION WILL AGAIN ILLUMINATE THE LOW BEAMS. CORRECTION: TURN SIGNAL AND LIGHTING SWITCH ASSEMBLIES WERE REPLACED ON AFFECTED VEHICLES PRIOR TO FINAL SALE.
