Consumer Description

TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY HAS 2 PARTS, THE LIGHT BULB HOLDER, AND THE SOCKET IN WHICH IT IS SCREWED INTO. AFTER A PERIOD OF TIME THE METAL PIECE THAT IS SCREWED INTO THE SOCKET BECOMES LOOSE AND ARC. WHEN THIS OCCURS IT SEVERS THE FLOW OF ELECTRICITY TO THE TAIL LIGHT. THIS RENDERS THE TAIL LIGHT INOPERATIVE. ALSO, THIS COULD CAUSES A FIRE HAZARD BECAUSE OF ITS LOCATION CLOSE TO THE GAS TANK. THE DEALERSHIP WANTS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE TAIL LIGHT ASSEMBLY, BUT THIS WILL ONLY PROVIDE A TEMPORARY SOLUTION. *AK
