NHTSA recall 98V027000
Interior Lighting · General Motors, LLC
Details
What's wrong: These vehicles were built with the potential for the interior lamps to come on unexpectedly while the vehicles are being driven. This does not meet the requirements of fmvss no. 101, "controls and displays."
Why it matters: The interior lamps coming on unexpectedly could startle a driver causing a momentary loss of control increasing the risk of a vehicle accident.
The fix: Dealers will run a diagnostic test on the lamp control module and, if necessary, replace it.
