Description of the problem | Takata recall i believe that the tail light system of gmc yukons 2015 and any other year that share the same lighting system need to be recalled and fixed. My entire rear lighting system went out and i did not know it until someone started honking the horn at me and told me i had no lights. Sometimes my lights work and sometimes it doesn't. Most of the time it is only one light. We looked online for other people having this issue and it seems like many people have this same issue and the problem of it is a defect where a piece inside the light breaks and causes connection issues. I have seen (on youtube) many people fixing the issue by sauntering it together. This could be very dangerous. Driving without any lights. It is also very costly to buy new lights that will eventually do the same thing. The issue happens all the time once it starts. The only time my rear lights work 100 percent of the time now is when it is cold outside. I have been told it is because the cold causes the plastic to swell and it must connect the piece inside the light . |
