These vehicles have hazard warning switches that may malfunction because of exposure to rapid temperature changes and a soldering process which could cause the hazard warning and turn signal lights to work intermittently or not at all.
GM expects repair parts to be available during the first quarter of 2004 and will notify owners of a free replacement programme at dealers.
