Details

What's wrong: On certain passenger sedans, the power circuit which feeds the direction indicator system could fail. This could result in the driver being unaware that the external turning indicators are not operating because the internal "tell-tail" light on the driver's instrument panel continues to work normally.

Why it matters: The loss of rear turn signals could fail to warn a following driver that the vehicle is turning and could result in a crash.

The fix: Dealers will replace the general electric module. Owner notification began April 1, 2003.
