Model Year	2008
File date	05/03/16
Component	EXTERIOR LIGHTING
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The passenger side headlight allows water to leak into it and therefore shorts out electrical items. So far i have had issues with my battery, the starter fuse, and the tail light fuse. Replacing the headlight assembly is the only way for me to have taillights again on this vehicle. I was almost rear ended on the freeway one night because my taillight fuse shorted out during the drive. The water in the head light accumulated over time, so i cannot pinpoint exactly when the seal broke, but there is no repairing the seal. I've been on many vehicle forums and have had discussions with many owners with the same problem with their passenger side headlight collecting water.

A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
