EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS

Manufacturer
General Motors LLC
What Happened
The headlight driver module in your vehicle controls the headlamps and daytime running lights. In some affected models, this module can overheat and fail, making it hard to see the road at night.
Risk if Unfixed
If the headlamp module fails, your headlamps and daytime running lights won't work, which can make it harder for you to see the road at night and for other drivers to see your vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your dealer will replace the faulty headlamp driver module with a new one, free of charge. You'll be notified when it's time to schedule the repair, and it's essential to take care of it to ensure your safety on the road.
Show original NHTSA language
Original — What Happened
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2007 Pontiac Grand Prix, 2006-2009 Buick LaCrosse, 2006-2007 Buick Rainier, Chevrolet Trailblazer, GMC Envoy, 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT, GMC Envoy XL, 2006-2008 Isuzu Ascender, and Saab 9-7x vehicles. In the affected vehicles, the headlamp driver module (HDM) may overheat and fail, causing the headlamps and daytime running lights to not illuminate.
Original — Risk if Unfixed
Headlamps that do not illuminate reduce the driver's ability to see the roadway and reduce the vehicle's visibility to oncoming vehicles, both of which increase the risk of a vehicle crash.
Original — Remedy
GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the HDM, free of charge. The recall began on May 17, 2016. Owners may contact Buick customer service at 1-800-521-7300 or Pontiac customer service at 1-800-762-2737. GM's number for this recall is 14291.

Moderate #14V355000 Plain English
Component

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION

Manufacturer
General Motors LLC
What Happened
The ignition switch in your vehicle is a critical part that makes sure your airbags deploy and your car runs smoothly. In some 2005-2014 models, the weight on your key ring and road bumps could cause the ignition switch to move out of position, turning off your engine.
Risk if Unfixed
If the ignition switch isn't in the correct position, your airbags may not inflate in a crash, putting you at risk of injury. You could also lose power steering and brakes, making it harder to control your vehicle and increasing the chance of a collision.
Free Fix
Your dealership will install a special key ring and a protective cover on your key, free of charge. This will prevent the ignition switch from moving out of position and keep you safe on the road. You'll get a notification and can schedule the repair when it's convenient for you.
Show original NHTSA language
Original — What Happened
This defect can affect the safe operation of the airbag system. Until this recall is performed, customers should remove all items from their key rings, leaving only the ignition key. The key fob (if applicable), should also be removed from the key ring. General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2005-2009 Buick LaCrosse, 2006-2011 Buick Lucerne, 2000-2005 Cadillac DeVille, 2006-2011 Cadillac DTS, 2006-2014 Chevrolet Impala, and 2006-2007 Chevrolet Monte Carlo vehicles. In the affected vehicles, the weight on the key ring and road conditions or some other jarring event may cause the ignition switch to move out of the run position, turning off the engine.
Original — Risk if Unfixed
If the key is not in the run position, the air bags may not deploy if the vehicle is involved in a crash, increasing the risk of injury. Additionally, a key knocked out of the run position will cause loss of engine power, power steering, and power braking, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
Original — Remedy
GM will notify owners, and dealers will install two key rings and an insert in the key slot or a cover over the key head on all ignition keys, free of charge. The recall began on September 23, 2014. Owners may contact General Motors customer service at 1-800-521-7300 (Buick), 1-800-458-8006 (Cadillac), and 1-800-222-1020 (Chevrolet). GM's number for this recall is 14299.
