- The risk
- If the headlight beam is too high, oncoming traffic may be blinded by the glare, increasing the risk of a crash.

Is my vehicle affected?
Being on this list means your year, make and model fall inside campaign 17V318000. It does not mean your individual vehicle does: a campaign covers a range of VINs built in a specific window, and vehicles either side of that window are untouched.
Check the 17-character VIN from the driver-side dashboard or door jamb against NHTSA's lookup. If it is covered, the dealer must do the work free of charge, regardless of the vehicle's age or mileage.
