WHEN REPLACING THE HEADLIGHT BULB, I NOTICED THAT THE CONNECTION WAS MELTED. THROUGH MY RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM DUE TO THE GAUGE OF WIRE USED IN THE WIRING HARNESS. THE DEALER SAYS THAT THERE IS NOT A RECALL. SINCE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT COULD POSSIBLY OCCUR WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT OR POSSIBLY CAUSE A FIRE, I WOULD HOPE THAT THIS COULD HELP INITIATE A RECALL. THIS IS NOT A WEAR ITEM SO THE MILEAGE ON MY VEHICLE SHOULD NOT BE IN QUESTION. *TR
