NHTSA RECENTLY POSTED A RECALL OF THE 2006-2009 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER FOR HEADLIGHT ISSUES DUE TO A HEADLAMP DRIVER MODULE (HDM) THAT IS NOT OPERATING CORRECTLY AND CAN CAUSE THE LOW BEAM HEADLAMPS AND DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS TO SHUT OFF. I HAVE A 2004 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER EXT 370 AND HAVE THE SAME ISSUE AND IT HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR SEVERAL YEARS. IT HAPPENED MAYBE ONCE IN 2012 AND THEN SEVERAL MONTHS LATER DID IT AGAIN AND NOW IT IS HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY (AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK OR SO). PLEASE EXTEND THE RECALL TO ALSO INCLUDE MY VEHICLE AS WELL. *DT

THIS CONDITION IS CAUSED BY CORROSION OF THE RETURN AND SENDER LINES OF THE FUEL PUMP MODULE.WATER AND ROAD SALT COLLECT ON TOP OF THE FUEL PUMP LEADING TO SMALL PINHOLES APPEARING ON THE FUEL LINES.FUEL MAY LEAK AND COLLECT ON TOP OF THE MODULE AND/OR SPILL ONTO THE GROUND.THE DATA EVALUATED UNDER THIS INVESTIGATION REFLECT A RELATIVELY LOW FREQUENCY OF OCCURRENCE THAT LARGELY ARISES IN SALT BELT STATES.GM HAS EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THE SUBJECT COMPONENT TO TEN YEARS OR 120,000 MILES.FURTHER USE OF AGENCY RESOURCES DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE WARRANTED AT THIS TIME; ACCORDINGLY, THIS INVESTIGATION IS CLOSED.THE CLOSING OF THIS INVESTIGATION DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A FINDING BY NHTSA THAT NO SAFETY-RELATED DEFECT EXISTS.THE AGENCY RESERVES THE RIGHT TO TAKE FURTHER ACTION IF WARRANTED BY THE CIRCUMSTANCES.FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION SELECT DOCUMENT SEARCH.
