Transport Canada issued a recall notice on Dec. 8 that could affect as many as 85,685 vehicles manufactured by General Motors (GM). They are among certain recent Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, and GMC models that could experience problems with their daytime running lamps (DRLs) staying on when the headlamps are on, creating a safety hazard.

This “could cause glare for oncoming drivers and increase the risk of a crash,” said the recall notice.
