EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS:SWITCH

Manufacturer
GENERAL MOTORS CORP.
What Happened
The multifunction switch controls your brake lights and hazard lights. In some cases, this switch can develop a problem that causes the lights to stop working.
Risk if Unfixed
If your brake lights and rear hazard lights fail, a driver behind you might not see that you're stopping or stopped, and this could lead to a crash.
Free Fix
Your dealer will replace the faulty switch with a new one and apply grease to the contacts to prevent future issues. If your hazard slider button is stuck, they'll replace the entire switch. This repair is free, and you should schedule it as soon as you get the recall notice.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING

Manufacturer
PRO-A MOTORS, INC.
What Happened
The replacement lamps you installed on your vehicle are for your corner lights, turn signals, and headlights. In some cases, these lamps might not have the correct amber reflectors, which are required by law.
Risk if Unfixed
If your vehicle's corner lights and turn signals are missing amber reflectors, they won't illuminate properly, making it harder for other drivers to see you, especially at night. This could lead to a vehicle crash without warning.
Free Fix
Pro-A Motors will offer to buy back the replacement lamps that are non-compliant. You should contact Pro-A Motors at 323-838-2988 to arrange the repurchase.
