What's wrong, in plain English

Certain 2019 Nissan Titan trucks with LED headlights have incorrect aiming marks stamped on the headlight assembly. These marks are meant to guide how the headlights are aimed when they're serviced. Because the marks are wrong, a technician who uses them to aim the headlights could end up aiming them incorrectly. Headlights aimed the wrong way may not light up the road properly at night.

1. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls.
2. Contact your Nissan dealer, or Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669.
3. The headlight inspection and any needed replacement is free.

Where do I find my VIN, and what do I tell the dealer?
