General Motors is recalling 316,357 older SUVs and sedans with headlights that may intermittently shut off or go completely dark, according to a statement emailed to Automotive News .
Included are the 2006–2007 Chevrolet TrailBlazer, GMC Envoy, and Buick Rainier; 2006 TrailBlazer EXT and Envoy XL; 2006–2008 Saab 9-7X and Isuzu Ascender; and the 2006–2009 Buick LaCrosse. GM said a faulty computer module could cause the low beams and the daytime running lamps to fail. All other lamps would work, GM said. The carmaker did not post the statement on its media site nor has the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration posted filings on its public database. A total of 273,182 vehicles are affected in the U.S., and there is no scheduled repair date. This is GM’s 79th recall this year.
Many of these same SUVs were recalled in early July for power-window-switch short-circuits that could cause the driver’s door to smoke or catch fire. It was GM’s third try to remedy all of the affected vehicles since the first go-around in August 2012.
