General Motors has announced a new recall. This time it affects 740k cars with an issue affecting daytime running lamps.
This is a minor issue that, in theory, should be easy to fix.
The issue comes on Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC vehicles. According to National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), these vehicles can remain with the DRLs on in various conditions. According to the law, glare from both headlights and daytime lamps being on at the same time could reduce visibility, increasing the chance of a collision. Having both sets of lights on is also a violation of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108.
According to GM, this problem is apparent a software bug in the body control module.
