Recalls for 2008 Saab 9-7x

DEFECT #1 - EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS

Posted on: 2015-08-14
Description
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.

Consequence
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.

Corrective Action
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.

Notes
Owners may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
