  Exterior lighting
  Covers: Buick Regal 1995

  Reported issue: The vehicles were assembled with an incorrect front park/turn signal bulb which does not have sufficient candle power. This does not comply with fmvss no. 108, "lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment."

  Possible consequence: Consequence of non-compliance: operators could fail to notice and heed the warning labels. Reduces candle power on the park/turn lights decreases the liklihood of vehicle operator's intent being seen by other motorists.

  Remedy: Dealers will replace the incorrect bulb with the correct bulb.
