NHTSA recall 96V250000
Exterior Lighting · General Motors, LLC
Details
What's wrong: The front and/or rear hazard warning lamps (four-way flashers) do not flash when the hazard switch is activated. This fails to comply with fmvss no. 108, "lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment."
Why it matters: If these lamps were not flashing, other vehicles would not be aware that this vehicle was stopped increasing the risk of an accident.
The fix: Dealers or vehicle owners will inspect for proper function of the hazard warning lamps. If necessary, dealers will replace the hazard lamp switch.
