An official Health Canada notice concerns Chevrolet - General motors. Certain vehicles may not comply with the requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 108 - Lighting System and Retroreflective Devices. The headlamp lenses in these vehicles are not marked with a three-digit identifier code that provides instructions for properly aiming the headlamps, as required by the standard. Although the headlamps in these vehicles were properly aimed during assembly, if headlamp aim is affected by a crash or other incident, the headlamps may not be properly aimed in servicing. Improperly aimed headlamps may reduce night time forward visibility or increase glare for vehicles ahead, which could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Owners will be mailed adhesive labels with the correct marking and instructions for applying the label to the headlamp lenses. If owners are not comfortable installing the label themselves, they can take the label to a dealer for installation. Published 2016-11-04.
