Truck-Lite Company, LLC "Truck-Lite" is recalling certain right-hand incandescent halogen headlights, part numbers Truck-Lite 27628C, 27628C7, Navistar 4049970C91, 4049970C92, 4049970C93, and 4049970C94, for installation on Navistar International LT-series trucks. The headlights may have incorrect "VOL" markings when they should be marked as "VOR." These headlights are correctly designed to be visually/optically aimed. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard "FMVSS" number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associate d Equipment."
If the headlights have incorrect markings, when they are replaced, the headlights may be aimed incorrectly, decreasing visibility and increasing the risk of a crash.
