The 2005 Pontiac G3 Wave has two recalls, the more serious being a daytime running light module that can overheat, melt, and start a fire that risks injury or property damage.
The second recall covers the same daytime running light module failing in ways short of fire: the lights may flicker, stay on after the vehicle is shut off, or stop working entirely, with the dashboard indicator behaving erratically or going dark.
