Recall Alert: 2013 Chevrolet Sonic

GM is recalling 4,716 model-year 2013 versions of the Chevrolet Sonic compact car due to problems with the turn-signal lamp, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

The affected vehicles were manufactured from May 29 through Aug. 29, 2012 (check your vehicle's build date on a sticker on the driver-side doorjamb). If the turn-signal lamp fails to function, the body control module will not warn the driver of the malfunction. This could lead to a crash.

GM will notify owners starting Oct. 3, and dealers will replace the affected parts free of charge. Owners can call Chevrolet at 866-694-6546 or NHTSA's vehicle safety hotline at 888-327-4236 for more info.

2013?
Are you guys sure about the model year is correct?

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the recall affects the 2013s mentioned.

But they are not even available according to Chevy's website. That is why I am kind of concerned.

J,

Cars.com's nationwide inventory shows 3,554 model year 2013 Sonics on dealers' lots.
