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.

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.
