NHTSA recall 94V190000
Exterior Lighting · General Motors, LLC
Details
What's wrong: These vehicles were assembled with lighting control modules which can experience excessive current leakage due to damaged surface mounting capacitors. This can cause loss of head lamps and parking lamps.
Why it matters: Sudden loss of headlamps can cause reduced driver visibility which can result in a vehicle accident. Also, the head lamps cannot be turned off, or they may turn on while the vehicle is parked, resulting in loss of battery charge and inability to restart the car.
The fix: Dealers will replace the headlamp module.
