If the headlamps shut off while the vehicle is driven, driver visibility would be impaired increasing the potential for a vehicle accident.

Exterior Lighting

Summary
A defective control module in the "autolamp" system can malfunction. If the "autolamp" system is being used to activate the exterior light (including headlamps), the headlamps could shut off without warning. This will not occur if the exterior lighting is turned on manually by the headlight switch.
Actions
Dealers will replace the "autolamp" control module. Owners are instructed to use the manual headlamp switch until the control module can be replaced.
