Software error in the light module

[NEW] CORRECTION
In the case of a customer complaint, program the vehicle with the most recent Progman version (target data status E060-08-09-515 or later). Refer to SI B09 05 01 (Coding, Individualization and Programming), Procedure B.

Attach these reports to the RO in the vehicle file. This additional work should be claimed under the defect code listed in this bulletin, using the labor operation and labor allowance from the KSD.
