Recall notice - Taillights
As some of you may know by reading this forum the L-series saturns have had numerious problems regarding the taillights, commonly causing the light to be inopertive or function incorrectly(including a few cases i have heard of where the problem backfeeds into the headlight circuit and interior lighting circuits). There has now been a recall issued for these problematic taillights. the recall covers 2000-2002 LS sedans and 2000-2004 LW wagons. the repairs for the recall should begin in september.

Re: Recall notice - Taillights
Will they be issuing reimbursements to people who have purchased new tail lamp units in order to have a safe (safety inspectable vehicle) for their families?
I for one just spent $200 on tail lamps about a month ago. I would like to be compensated for this problem that Saturn have deemed necessary to issue a recall. |

Re: Recall notice - Taillights
Yes reimbursements will be given. You will get a from with your recall letter telling you how to file a claim. You are due your money you spent but be aware this process can take a month to 2 month to get a check into your hands. If you have any questions call the Saturn customer assisstance phone number.

Re: Recall notice - Taillights
GM recalled the tail lights because of fire hazzard to the owners car. The bulbs are getting so hot and melting the plastic around the bulb. GM messed the lights up on the whole back end of the L series, every 1 that comes in to the shop with 1 complanes. The high mount brake lights are always burnt out or have a bad conection so you have to wiggle them around to get them to work, and those bulbs are not cheap, like 20 bucks a bulb!!
