What's wrong, in plain English

In certain Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, and GMC vehicles, the daytime running lights may not turn off when the headlights are switched on. This can create glare and reduce visibility for other drivers.

What you should do

1. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to confirm your vehicle is affected.
2. Contact a dealer, or call GMC at 1-888-988-7267, Chevrolet at 1-800-222-1020, or Cadillac at 1-800-458-8006.
3. The body control module software will be updated by a dealer or over-the-air, free of charge.
Where do I find my VIN, and what do I tell the dealer?

Your VIN is the 17-character code on the lower left of the windshield, on your registration and usually on your insurance card. Enter it at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see whether this recall is still open on your car. When you call the dealer, say you have an open safety recall and give them NHTSA campaign number 22V903000.
