  Covers: Buick Regal 1994–1995, Oldsmobile Cutlass 1994–1995, Pontiac Grand Prix 1994–1995 +2 more

  Reported issue: Some of these vehicles have a strained or separated washer/wiper switch power feed wire.

  Possible consequence: This can cause the windshield washer/wiper to work intermittently and could ultimately result in inoperative wipers. If this were to occur in a severe weather situation, driver visibility could be reduced, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.

  Remedy: Dealers will inspect and replace the old designed washer/wiper switches with a newly designed switch.

  Exterior lighting
  Covers: Buick Regal 1991–1995

  Reported issue: Incorrect clear front side marker bulbs were installed rather than amber bulbs. This does not conform to the requirements of fmvss no. 108, "lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment."

  Possible consequence: Consequence of non-compliance: during illumination, the bulbs will show clear rather than amber and could momentarily confuse other drivers.

  Remedy: Dealers will replace the clear bulbs with the correct amber bulbs.
