Stop/Tail Light-Intermittant Operation

MODEL

Defender

DETAIL

Due to poor contact within the rear twin filament bulb holder, the side/brake lights may operate intermittently. A new twin filament bulb holder has been introduced to prevent the bulb holder contacts backing away from the bulb.

ACTION REQUIRED

Upon customer complaint of the side/brake lights becoming inoperative. Prior to replacing a bulb holder, check to ensure that the bulb has not failed. If the bulb filament is intact, the bulb holder should be replaced, the two rear bulb holders should be replaced together.
