2003–2004 Saturn Ion recall: lights
⚠️ What's wrong
Certain passenger vehicles have a condition in which the turn signal lamp and daytime running lamp (drl) on either front side CAN stop working because of loss of contact between the bulb and socket.
💥 The risk
If a front turn signal lamp is inoperative, others may react more slowly to a turning vehicle and a crash could occur.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will replace the drl/turn signal bulb on both the left and right front side and inspect for and add a drl jumper kit if not present. The recall began november 17, 2004. Owners should contact saturn at 1-800-972-8876.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
