Hazard

In the rear axle level sensor that adjusts the optical axis according to load weight, improper assembly instructions during manufacturing have resulted in some units having the linkage connected in the reverse orientation. Consequently, the headlight optical axis is not adjusted appropriately under load, which may cause glare to oncoming drivers.
