GM expands headlight recall by 180000 cars - The Detroit News
Washington — General Motors Co. said Tuesday it is recalling another 180,500 Buicks and Pontiacs in North America for faulty low-beam headlights. The new recall includes 159,584 2005 Buick LaCrosse and 2007 Pontiac Grand Prix cars sold in the United States, and 21,000 2005 cars in Canada, including the Buick Allure (which is the name for the LaCrosse in Canada). 2006-07 Chevrolet Trailblazer, GMC Envoy and Buick Ranier. 2006 Trailblazer EXT and GMC Envoy XL. and 2006-08 Saab 9-7X and Isuzu Ascender. Until a permanent repair is available, dealers will replace the headlamp module with a new one of the existing part,” GM spokesman Alan Adler said. GM told owners in January that it would then have to replace that part with a revised part at a future date. GM said on June 26 the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration informed GM of complaints of headlight failures in LaCrosse, Grand Prix, and Trailblazer vehicles. In July, GM conducted additional analysis of its data and post-warranty repair information for 2005-2009 LaCrosse and 2006-2008 Grand Prix vehicles, which prompted the new recall. In July 2014, NHTSA closed a petition review of 2007-09 Saturn Outlooks and GMC Acadias after a complaint of loss of low-beam headlights because of an overheated bulb connector.
