Summary

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: CLASS A MOTOR HOMES EQUIPPED WITH A VINYL PROTECTIVE FRONT COVER. THIS COVER INCLUDES A MESH WHICH COVERS THE FRONT HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY.

Consequence

THE DECREASE IN HEADLIGHT BRIGHTNESS CAN DECREASE THE ABILITY TO VIEW THE ROAD WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT OR IN OTHER INSTANCES WHERE HEADLIGHTS WOULD BE NEEDED. ALSO, THE DECREASED BRIGHTNESS OF THE TURN SIGNALS WILL AFFECT THE VISIBILITY OF THESE SIGNALS TO FOLLOWING VEHICLES.
