2003–2004 Saturn Ion recall: windows, wipers & mirrors
⚠️ What's wrong
Certain passenger vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 118, "power-operated window, partition, and roof panel systems." the power windows and/or sunroof may be operable after the ignition has been turned to the "off" position and the front passenger door is opened.
💥 The risk
If unsupervised children are left unattended in the vehicle and operate the power windows or sunroof, there is an increased risk of injury to the child.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will upgrade the body control module (BCM) calibration. Owner notification began on december 30, 2003. Owners should contact saturn at 1-800-972-8876.
