Headlamp Cleaning System Spray Nozzle Jams Against Cover in Bumper

If you receive customer reports in the above model vehicles of a loud noise when using the headlamp cleaning system, the spray nozzle may not be extending and retracting correctly. This may be due to the headlamp mounting position causing the spray nozzle to contact the nozzle cover during operation. To resolve, perform the following:
1. Remove front part of the wheelhouse liner. Refer to WIS document AR88.10-P-1310TX.
2. Adjust the position of the headlamp housing upward slightly.
3. Verify the spray nozzle extends and retracts and does not bind on the nozzle cover.
4. Aim the headlamps. Refer to WIS document AP82.10-P-8260TX.
