HEADLAMP WASHER PUMP

On vehicles with the Chassis End Number Range given in the table below, if the headlamp washer system is activated with the headlamp wiper arm misaligned (i.e. headlamp wiper arm does not stop in park position) or lodged in the groove below the headlamp unit, the headlamp washer pump will run continuously expelling all available headlamp washer fluid possibly leading to a vehicle fire.

WARNING!
Headlamp washer pump operation without the presence of washer fluid can cause the headlamp washer pump to overheat and cause a vehicle fire.
A modified headlamp washer pump has been designed.

Therefore, on vehicles within the chassis end number range given in the Effective Serial Number table below, the headlamp washer pump must be replaced with the modified headlamp washer pump.
