ION DRL recall

[Biker Geek]

Has anyone had the DRL recall performed on a Saturn Ion yet? Supposedly they install new bulbs and a "DRL jumper block"--where is that jumper block and what does it do?

I got the letter but am on the waiting list for work, or until the signals stop working, a minor bug anyway- Why don't they do a recall for the sway bar bushings ??! clunk, clunk, they suk, no excuse for crappy parts.

I've already replaced the left-side bulb--thought the bulb had gone bad. Only $5 at Autozone, but still annoying.

I hadn't heard about the sway bar bushing thing. Then again, I'm used to driving on Massachusetts roads, so I'm used to all kinds of weird noises coming from the undercarriage. I swear, they must use the roads around here for artillery practice.

On top of it, the right-hand headlamp assembly is starting to develop this weird milky haze in the plastic. Wonder what
*that's* from.

Yes they replaced both on mine because they MELTED into unusable blobs, welding the lights into place. I wonder what the flashpoint of that stuff might be...? hm.

I think they just put an inline resistor, but I didn't check except to notice the wires looked new (and the lights work).
