What this means for you

Minor labeling or packaging issue, or a voluntary precautionary recall. Risk of harm is low but real — follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Our severity reasoning: This is a documentation error in an owner's manual with no reported injuries or crashes. While incorrect manual instructions could theoretically affect light adjustment, the fix is a simple mail-out of corrected information, classifying this as a moderate-severity precautionary recall.
