Over 85K General Motors vehicles recalled in Canada due to daytime running lamp issue

Transport Canada is recalling 85,685 General Motors vehicles as some models face possible issues with their daytime running lamps (DRLs).

The agency said in a recall notice Friday that for certain vehicles, the DRLs may stay on when the headlamps are on and that “could cause glare for oncoming drivers and increase the risk of a crash.”

“Canadian regulations require the DRLs to turn off when the headlamps are on,” it added.
