THE EXISTING NUT WILL BE REPLACED AND TIGHTENED TO THE CORRECT SPECIFICATIONS. AN ADDITIONAL LOCKING NUT WILL ALSO BE INSTALLED, WITHOUT CHARGE TO OWNER.
THE MANUFACTURER HAS ESTABLISHED THAT THE TAIL LIGHTS MAY BECOME INOPERATIVE DUE TO POSSIBLE OXIDATION OF THE WIRING TERMINALS CAUSED BY INFILTRATION OF WATER AND DIRT.
DEALER WILL APPLY A PROTECTIVE PAINT AND INSTALL A PLASTIC COVER OVER THE EXPOSED TAIL LIGHT WIRING TERMINALS.
