What is wrong: Certain passenger vehicles have a condition in which the turn signal lamp and daytime running lamp (drl) on either front side can stop working because of loss of contact between the bulb and socket.
Risk: If a front turn signal lamp is inoperative, others may react more slowly to a turning vehicle and a crash could occur.
Remedy: Dealers will replace the drl/turn signal bulb on both the left and right front side and inspect for and add a drl jumper kit if not present. The recall began november 17, 2004. Owners should contact saturn at 1‑800‑972‑8876.
