What's wrong: These vehicles do not comply with requirements of fmvss no. 108, "lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment." Because of a problem in the hazard warning switch assembly, the turn signal lamps may not work or may work intermittently when the driver uses the turn signal lever or hazard warning switch. If the vehicle turn signal indicators are not flashing, then the turn signal lamps may not be flashing.

Why it matters: Other drivers may not be alerted that the vehicle is turning and a crash could occur.

The fix: Dealers will replace the hazard warning switch assembly.
