Date: 970101
Recall - Hazard Lamps May Not Function Properly
PONTIAC
96075
Issued: 01/01/97
SUBJECT:
96075 - HAZARD LAMPS MAY NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY
MODELS:
CERTAIN 1995 AND 1996 "J" AND "N" VEHICLES
The Highway Safety Act, as amended, provides that each vehicle which is subject to a recall campaign of this type must be adequately repaired within a
reasonable time after the customer has tendered it for repair. A failure to repair within sixty (60) days after tender of a vehicle is prima facie evidence of
failure to repair within a reasonable time.
If the condition is not adequately repaired within a reasonable time, the customer may be entitled to an identical or reasonably equivalent vehicle at no
charge or to a refund of the purchase price less a reasonable allowance for depreciation.
To avoid having to provide these burdensome remedies, every effort must be made to promptly schedule an appointment with each customer and to
repair their vehicle as soon as possible. As you will see in reading the divisional letter that is being sent to customers, the customers are being instructed
to contact the appropriate Customer Assistance Center if their dealer does not remedy the condition within five (5) days of the mutually agreed upon
service date. If the condition is not remedied within a reasonable time, they are instructed on how to contact the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration.
Defect Involved
General Motors has decided that certain 1995 "J" and "N" model vehicles fail to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 108,
"Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment". These vehicles may exhibit a condition in which the front and/or rear hazard warning lamps
(four-way flashers) do not flash when the hazard switch is activated.
Interior telltale lamps will still flash if the rear hazard lamps are inoperative but front hazard lamps are operative. The interior telltale lamps will not flash
if the front hazard lamps are inoperative.
To correct this condition and in order to comply with FMVSS 108, vehicle owners or dealers will inspect for proper function of the hazard warning
lamps. If necessary, dealers will replace the hazard lamp switch.

Involved are certain 1995 and 1996 "J" and "N" model vehicles built within the following VIN breakpoints:
