Buick, Cadillac, Chevy, GMC: Daytime Running Lights Stay On
medium How serious is it? About this label
This is a moderate problem that mainly affects other drivers' visibility and raises crash risk, and the notice does not tell owners to stop driving, so you can keep driving while you arrange the free update.
What's wrong, in plain English
On these Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC vehicles, the daytime running lights can stay lit when you turn the headlights on. They are supposed to switch off at that point. Because they stay bright, they can create glare for other drivers and make it harder for people to see. This does not meet the federal rules for vehicle lamps. A dealer can update the software that controls the lights, or the fix can be sent to the vehicle wirelessly.
What you should do

3. Have the dealer perform the software update — the repair is free.
