Manufacturer General MotorseBay, LLC

Components EXTERIOR LIGHTING

Potential Number of Units Affected 740,581

 

Summary

General MotorseBay, LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2010-2017 GMC Terrain vehicles. A reflection caused by the headlight housings may illuminate areas above the vehicle and outside of the driver’s view with excessively bright light. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, “Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment.”

 

Remedy

Dealers will install headlamp appliques, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed September 8, 2022. Owners may contact GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782. GM’s number for this recall is N222363740.

 

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.

 

Check if your Vehicle has a Recall

 


Condition

General MotorseBay has decided that certain 2010-2017 model year GMC Terrain vehicles fail to conform to Federal/Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 108. In these vehicles, a reflection caused by the headlamps’ housing can project a narrow beam of light 80 degrees outboard and 45 degrees upward of each lamp’s forward-center axis. When tested, the light emitted from this single point on each lamp may be brighter than the maximum designated in section S10.15.6 and Table XIX of FMVSS 108. The headlamp design allows a narrow beam of light from the lower beam lamp to reflect off of the inner surface of the high beam reflector. The lamps’ high beams are not affected by this condition. These reflections may cause glare or be distracting to other drivers, increasing the risk of a crash.

 

Correction

Dealers will install headlamp appliques that address this issue.
