Turn Signal Problems of Cadillac XLR

The turn signal in the left rear tail lamp assembly which is a sealed led based system is not working. I reached out to Cadillac dealers and the part has been discontinued. This renders the vehicle unsafe as it cannot be legally driven and neither can it be repaired or resold as there is not a substitute part. Gm used a supplier called guide corporation, which has went out of business. I believe gm should recover their tools and move them to another supplier in order to resume manufacturing of this key safety component.

The contact owns a 2004 Cadillac Xlr. The contact smelled a burning odor around the turn signal and informed an authorized dealer and the manufacturer. The dealer diagnosed that the socket was melting and the plastic housing was warped. The failures were related to NHTSA recall campaign 06v263000 exterior lighting; the day time running lamp/turn signal and parking lamp became inoperative. An authorized dealer also replaced the sockets inside the headlights for the entire unit. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 120000 updated 4/9/14 MA.
