Exterior lighting — HeadlightsCampaign 07V482000 · 16 Oct 2007

Problem: On certain vehicles located in guam and saipan, the headlamp low beam or daytime running light (drl) function may be inoperative due to a melted splice pack (s201) on the ip harness.

Risk: Inadequate lighting could reduce visibility of the vehicle increasing the rick of a crash.

Remedy: Dealers will change the headlamp low beam splicing type and separate it from splice pack 201 to protect housing melting due to potential poor contact. The recall began on january 2, 2008. Owners may contact gm daewoo at 1-671-648-8453.
