Re: the federal safety agency campaign 15v519000 (gm safety recall 14291). This problem results in failure of headlights. I received letter from gm in september 2015. It indicated that a permanent solution was not yet available. Today I checked with gm and they indicated the permanent solution is not yet available and furthermore they have no schedule for completion. Obviously, headlight failure is a significant safety concern (which has happened twice to me). For gm not to have developed a permanent solution, or apparently even a schedule for doing so, is extremely disappointing.
