# 08050: Special Coverage - Daytime Running Lamps May Become Inoperative (Canada Only) - (Mar 31, 2008)
Subject:
08050 -- DAYTIME RUNNING LAMPS MAY BECOME INOPERATIVE
Models:
2005-2006 CHEVROLET EQUINOX
2006 PONTIAC TORRENT

CANADIAN VEHICLES
Condition
On some 2005-2006 model year Chevrolet Equinox, 2006 model year Pontiac Torrent, and 2002-2007 model year Saturn VUE vehicles, the daytime
running lamp (DRL) resistor may crack. If water and road salt enters the crack, it could corrode the resistor. A corroded resistor could result in a loss of
DRL illumination, and therefore, vehicles may be less visible to other motorists and pedestrians during daylight hours.
Correction
This bulletin covers the condition described above for a period of 7 years or 112,000 km, whichever occurs first, from the date the vehicle was originally
placed in service, regardless of ownership.
Dealers/retailers are to verify the condition and install a new resistor, if necessary. The repairs will be made at no charge to the customer.
For vehicles covered by Vehicle Service Contracts, all eligible claims with repair orders on or after March 31, 2008 are covered by this special coverage
and must be submitted using the labor operation codes provided with this bulletin. Claims with repair orders prior to March 31, 2008 must be submitted
to the Service Contract provider.
Vehicles Involved
Involved are certain 2005-2006 model year Chevrolet Equinox, 2006 model year Pontiac Torrent, and 2002-2007 model year Saturn VUE vehicles built
within the VIN breakpoints shown.
