Washington, DC—(ENEWSPF)—March 13, 2012.
Summary: General Motors (GM) is recalling certain model year 2012 Buick Regal vehicles manufactured from February 22, 2011, through February 22, 2012 for failing to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 108 “Lamps, Reflective Devices and Associated Equipment.” Due to a software error, the parking lamps do not activate when either the parking lamps or headlamps are turned on.
Consequence: Inadequate lighting could reduce the visibility of the vehicle, increasing the potential for a crash.
Remedy: General Motors will notify owners, and dealers will reprogram the body control module free of charge. The recall is expected to begin on March 12, 2012. Owners may contact GM at 800-521-7300.
