Chevrolet Recall 07V-482: Exterior lighting – headlights

Affected: 2005–2006 Chevrolet Optra. Filed with NHTSA on October 16, 2007, covering about 144 vehicles.

The 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.

The risk

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

The fix

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.
