On certain vehicles, oxidation on the ground pin connector for the rear tail lamps may cause a dimming or loss of one or more rear lamp functions (tail, brake, turn signal). Failure of any rear lamp function may result in the following road users being unaware of the driver's intentions, as well as reducing vehicle conspicuity during hours of darkness. Correction: Dealers will inspect and if necessary replace the rear tail lamps on affected vehicles.
