2004 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.

Certain vehicles fail to conform to CMVSS 120.  The wheel rim designation is not listed correctly on the tire/certification label on vehicles equipped with a 17X7J wheel.  If the wheel rim size is incorrectly printed on a tire/certification label, a service technician who solely uses the tire/certification label for service information may attempt to replace a damaged wheel with an incorrect wheel.  Correction:  Saturn will provide owners with a corrected label.
