Summary
WHITE MILKY STAINS ON INNER SURFACE OF HEADLIGHT LENS. SOME VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH LED OR DISCHARGE TYPE HEADLIGHTS MAY EXHIBIT WHITE MILKY STAINS ON THE INNER SURFACE OF HEADLIGHT LENS. SOME CUSTOMERS MAY COMPLAIN OF POOR APPEARANCE. THIS CONCERN IS CAUSED BY GAS THAT EMITS FROM A GASKET IN THE LAMP UNIT. THE GAS ADHERES TO INNER SURFACEOF HEADLIGHT LENS AND REACTS WITH ANTI-CLOUDING COATING AND MOISTURE IN THE AIR TO CREATE WHITE MILKY STAINS. THE GASKET MATERIAL HAS BEEN IMPROVED TO ELIMINATE THIS CONCERN. CUSTOMERS HAVING THIS CONCERN SHOULD HAVE THEIR VEHICLE REPAIRED USING THE FOLLOWING REPAIR PROCEDURE.
