On certain vehicles, the filament in the bulb of the Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) may burn out due to a shorter lifespan than expected. A loss of DRL illumination could render the vehicle less visible to other motorists and to pedestrians during daylight hours, possibly resulting in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the Daytime Running Lamp bulbs with a longer life type bulb.
