1 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 09/14/2020

A recall for other vehicles but not mine. Left breaklight doesn't light up, till you move and down the turnsignal lever. Then the left break light lights up. So why isn't my model in this recall ? I found this on a Bravada thread and lots of auto parts stores selling the part for it.

2 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 09/15/2011

Hazard switch interfering with turn signal operation - the right turn signal became inoperative - all bulbs lit up except for the right side marker light when the right turn signal was turned on; however, the marker light and all others that are supposed to flashed with the 4-way flashers. All bulbs and the flasher unit was replaced with negative results. During further examination on 9/23/11 when the flasher switch was jiggled the turn signal began working and then stopped but then worked again each time that the turn signal switch was jiggled. There has been a recall for a similar issue where the hazard switch interfered with the stop lamps - campaign id number: 08v231000. Two dealerships and Oldsmobile were contacted regarding this and the answer was that there are no open recalls for this vehicle. One of them mentioned that a recall had been done in a year prior to 2008 which involved replacing the hazard switch. An Oldsmobile rep stated that the 2008 recall only pertained to vehicles with certain VIN numbers but could not confirm that the replacement hazard switch installed in a previous recall was not from the same stock as the switch installed in the vehicles that had the hazard switch replaced in the 2008 recall.
