SERVICE CAMPAIGN BULLETIN

Reference Number(s): 05052, Date of Issue:  November 21, 2005
Affected Model(s): 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.
