Description of the problem	On the 2017 hyundai sonata limited (not the base or sport models), the enclosure surrounding the light unit has a piece at the top that casts a shadow on the street that is distracting to the driver and impairs visibility. The shadow appears to look like a tab and casts a shadow on the left hand lane line that makes visibility hard and is a safety concern. We have been informed by the dealership that we took it to that ordered a replacement headlight unit that it appears to be an issue with the design that only appears to impact to the limited models of the sonata. Upon further research, there are a number of other complaints that are referenced in the website https://www. Cargurus. Com/cars/discussion-t68982_ds813530 regarding issues with both the 2017 and 2018 models. We ask that this item is investigated for re-manufacture and a recall issued to protect all from this safety issue. I have attached a few pictures to demonstrate the distraction caused by the tab on a freeway and in a residential street as well as a close up of the headlight which you can see is casting this shadow. I have also shown a picture that is cast on the front of a house that while projected up (as we were on the upslope of a driveway), visibly shows the tab that gets dispersed while on the roads.
