NHTSA recall 12V454000

What's wrong: When a turn signal lamp fails to operate, the body control module (bcm) in these vehicles does not detect this condition and will not indicate the condition to the driver. Thus, these vehicles fail to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard no. 108, "lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment."

Why it matters: If the driver is not aware that the turn signal is not functioning and does not have the light repaired, other drivers may not be alerted that the vehicle is turning, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Gm will notify owners, and dealers will reprogram the bcm and the vehicle's key fobs, free of charge. The safety recall began on October 3, 2012.
