- Summary
- The daytime running lights were built with a candela value greater than 2,600, are located less than 100MM from the turn signals and hazard warning lamps, and are not deactivated when the turn signal or hazard warning lamps are activated. This does not comply with FMVSS no. 108, "lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment."
- Consequence
- This condition would make it difficult for drivers of oncoming vehicles to see the turn signal, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
- Remedy
- Dealers will install a new body control module and reprogram the vehicle with a new calibration that will turn the daytime running lights off when the turn signal or hazard warning flasher is activated.

Has your GMC been repaired?
Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.
NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A GMC dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
