GM is currently cleaning out its various closets: for the 79th time this year, a recall has been issued, this time targeting 320,000 vehicles…

According to the recall, 2006-2007 GMC Envoys, Chevrolet Trailblazers and Buick Rainiers, 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer EXTs and GMC Envoy XLs, 2006-2008 Saab 9-7Xs and Isuzu Ascenders and Buick Lacrosses from the same era are equipped with a faulty headlamp driver module. According to the manufacturer, this electronic device can short-circuit, and the daytime-running lamps and/or low beams could flicker intermittently or even turn off completely. However, GM wants to reassure its customers that even if the low beams or the daytime-running lamps were to break, the tail lamps and the high beams would remain operational. About 43,000 of the affected vehicles are located in Canada.
