During March, 2023, the Plant Quality team reviewed build records to identify the specification of lamps fitted to vehicles. The Plant Quality teams assessed the functional differences of an incorrect specification tail lamp fitted to a vehicle to determine which lamps would and would not operate correctly.

The RDC reviewed the issue on March 30, 2023, and concluded that it resulted in a failure to comply to FMVSS 108 with the defect leading to a possible safety risk and that a safety recall should be conducted to inspect vehicles tail lamps and where necessary replace lamps for the correct specification.
