Default Highbeams won't work

Whenever I go to turn my highbeams on or flash someone, my bulbs completly shut off. Has anyone ever had this problem before? Is this a common problem?

The bulbs are only a year old.

There was a recall on the Headlight switch some years ago.
Maybe someone will post the link.
The dealer should be able to run the Vin # and see if the recall was ever done.
