    General Motors is recalling 273,182 midsize SUV's and Buick LaCrosse sedans in the U.S. because the low-beam headlights can cut out, temporarily or permanently.

    Besides 2006 to 2009 LaCrosse sedans, the recall includes a raft of SUVs under various GM brands. They include the 2006 and 2007 Chevrolet TrailBlazer and 2006 TrailBlazer EXT; 2006 and 2007 GMC Envoy and 2006 Envoy XL; 2006 and 2007 Buick Rainier; 2006 to 2008 Saab 9-7X and 2006 to 2008 Isuzu Ascender midsize SUVs.

    The problem has been traced to the headlamp driver modules. If they aren't working properly, the low-beam headlamps and daytime running lamps could intermittently or permanently fail to illuminate, GM says. But this condition does not affect the high-beam headlamps, "marker lamps," turn signals, or fog lamps.
