Lighting - Revised Headlamp Rear Cover Screw

NUMBER: 07-65-11

DATE: 05/04/11

APPLICABILITY: 2008MY and Later Tribeca

SUBJECT: Headlight Assembly Rear Cover Screw

INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this bulletin is to inform you that a new service part screw (4mm longer) is now available for the rear cover.

When replacing the headlight low beam, care must be taken to prevent over-tightening of the screw that secures the headlight assembly rear cover. If the screw is over-tightened, it could strip the headlight assembly housing, preventing the cover from being properly secured, which in turn will allow water to enter the headlight assembly. If the headlight assembly housing is stripped, the new style screw should be used.
