2002 Saturn VUE

On certain vehicles, a defect may allow the ignition key to be removed from the ignition switch when the key is not in the "OFF" position. This could result in unintended vehicle movement if the transmission is not in the "PARK" position (automatic transmission) or not in the reverse gear with the parking brake engaged (manual transmission), and increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will replace the ignition lock cylinder and/or ignition key. Note: Until recall repairs are performed, owners should make sure that the transmission is in the "PARK" position (automatic transmission) or is in the reverse gear with the parking brake engaged (manual transmission) when exiting the vehicle.

On certain vehicles, the Daytime Running Lamp (DRL) resistor may crack.  If water and road salt enters the crack, it could corrode the resistor.  This could result in a loss of DRL illumination, and therefore, vehicles may be less visible to other motorists and pedestrians during daylight hours, possibly resulting in a crash causing personal injury or death.  Correction: Dealers will replace the resistor until 7 years or 112,000 km from date vehicle was originally placed into service.

On certain vehicles, the front seat belt assemblies do not include the statement required by CMVSS 209 for certain load limiting retractors.  Correction:  Dealer will place a label with the required information inside the front seat belt shoulder harness faster cover on both sides of the vehicle.
