NHTSA source checks for this vehicle year
Checks are recorded separately for each dataset, not for the whole page. Dates use UTC. A missing check date does not mean no records exist.
Vehicle import recorded: Apr 28, 2026. This is the stored import date, not confirmation that every source was successfully refreshed.
The headlight assembly is defective and gets very dim. Replacing the bulb does not fix the issue. Lights are so dim it is not drivable at night.
THE HEAD LIGHTS ARE EXTREMELY DULL, RESULTING IN POOR VISION. HIGH BEAMS ARE THE ONLY WAY TO SEE ANY DISTANCE. IN BAD WEATHER THIS IS EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO SEE ROAD HAZARDS.
