General Motors (GM) is recalling

Regal vehicles
MARCH 2012 --
General Motors (GM) is recalling
certain model year 2012 Buick
Regal vehicles manufactured from
February 22, 2011, through
February 22, 2012 for failing to
comply with the requirements of
federal motor vehicle safety
standard no. 108 “lamps,
reflective devices and
associated equipment.” due to a
software error, the parking
lamps do not activate when
either the parking lamps or
headlamps are turned on.
Inadequate lighting could reduce
the visibility of the vehicle,
increasing the potential for a
crash. General Motors will
notify owners, and dealers will
reprogram the body control
module free of charge. The
recall is expected to begin on
March 12, 2012. General Motors
recall no. 12048. Customers may
