2000 Saturn LS recall: lights
⚠️ What's wrong
Vehicle description: passenger vehicles. These vehicles do not comply with requirements of FMVSS no. 108, "lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment." because of a problem in the hazard warning switch assembly, the turn signal lamps may not work or may work intermittently when the driver uses the turn signal lever or hazard warning switch. If the vehicle turn signal indicators are not flashing, then the turn signal lamps may not be flashing.
💥 The risk
Other drivers may not be alerted that the vehicle is turning and a crash could occur.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will replace the hazard warning switch assembly.
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.)
