NHTSA Complaint #11254743 — 2015 GMC YUKON XL

PASSENGER SIDE LED TAIL LIGHT STOPPED WORKING. SAW THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED ON NHTSA MANY TIMES (OVER 400) BUT THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A RECALL. TO FIX THE TAIL LIGHT THE ENTIRE FIXTURE HAD TO BE REPLACED AT DEALER FOR A COST OF $900 WHICH IS RIDICULOUS. THIS IS A DEFINITE SAFETY HAZARD AS THERE WAS NO INDICATOR TO TELL ME THAT THE TAIL LIGHT AND BRAKE LIGHT WERE OUT! ONLY FOUND OUT ABOUT THE PROBLEM WHEN A FRIEND WAS FOLLOWING ME HOME AND TOLD ME ABOUT IT. SURPRISED THAT THERE HAS BEEN NEITHER A VOLUNTARY RECALL BY GM OR A MANDATED RECALL BY THE NHTSA. DEFINITELY NEEDS ADDRESSING. ALSO, THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN REPORTED ON 2015-2017 YUKONS SO THERE APPEARS TO BE EITHER A DEFECTIVE PART OR BAD DESIGN.
