General Motors of Canada has issued a recall on 100,739 small cars from the 2004 to 2007 model years including the Chevrolet Aveo, Epica and Optra as well as the Pontiac G3 Wave.
In some cases, the daytime running light (DRL) module may fail, causing one or more of the following conditions: the DRLs may flicker but remain illuminated; the DRL indicator in the instrument panel may flash; the DRLs may remain illuminated after the vehicle is turned OFF; the DRLs may cease to function and the DRL indicator in the instrument panel will turn OFF. This can make the vehicle less visible to other motorists and pedestrians during daylight hours, which could result in a crash.
Owners are advised to take their car to a GM dealer to have the DRL module replaced, if the above condition exists, for a period of up to 10 years or 240,000 km from first vehicle registration.
