Recall - Tail/Brake Lamps Inoperative
Product Safety - Brake and/or Tail Lamps Inoperative
# 05052 - (Nov 21, 2005)
Models:
2000-2002 SATURN LS
2000-2004 SATURN LW
Condition
General Motors has decided that a defect, which relates to motor vehicle safety, exists in certain 2000-2002 Saturn LS and 2000-2004 Saturn LW
vehicles. The tail lamp housing can become distorted if the brake lamps remain on for an extended period of time. This distortion could cause the brake
and/or tail lamps to become inoperative. Reduced visibility or lack of braking indication to following drivers could contribute to a vehicle crash.
Correction
Retailers are to install two new tail lamp bracket housing assemblies and bulbs.
Vehicles Involved
Involved are certain 2000-2002 Saturn LS and 2000-2004 Saturn LW vehicles built within the VIN breakpoints shown.
Important:
Canadian Saturn retailers should confirm vehicle eligibility through GMVIS (GM Vehicle Inquiry System) prior to beginning recall repairs. [Not all

Important:
Saturn US retailers must verify recall involvement by running a National Vehicle History (NVH) prior to performing repairs. Not all vehicles within
the above breakpoints may be involved. Recall claims will only be paid on involved vehicles.
For Canadian Saturn retailers with involved vehicles, a Campaign Initiation Detail Report (CIDR) containing the complete vehicle identification number,
