2004 Saturn L-Series Review
"A name change and a return to standard antilock brakes highlight the new year for Saturn's midsize sedans and wagons. Previously L-Series, all models are now called L300, regardless of engine or body type. L300 uses Saturn's dent- and rust-resistant polymer panels for the front fenders, doors, and bumper fascias; other body parts are steel. Four-cylinder and V6 engines are available. Both come only with a four-speed automatic transmission; last year's standard 5-speed manual has been dropped. After being relegated to the options list last year, antilock brakes are again standard, as is traction control. Head-protecting curtain side airbags are also standard. Options include heated front seats, leather upholstery, rear DVD entertainment, and GM's OnStar assistance."

| Mfg's Report Date | 05/31/2005 |
| Component | EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS |
| Number of Units Affected | 291652 |
| Summary | ON CERTAIN SEDANS AND WAGONS, THE PLASTIC HOUSING IN THE REAR TAIL LAMP ASSEMBLY CAN BECOME DISTORTED IF THE BRAKE LAMPS REMAIN ON FOR AN EXTENDED TIME. |
| Consequence | THIS CAN CAUSE (1) AN INTERMITTENTLY INOPERATIVE BRAKE/TAIL LAMP BULB OR (2) A SHORT CIRCUIT THAT OPENS A FUSE CAUSING INOPERATIVE BRAKE LAMPS (INCLUDING THE CENTER HIGH-MOUNTED STOP LAMP) OR TAIL LAMPS. A FOLLOWING DRIVER MAY NOT KNOW WHEN THE BRAKES HAVE BEEN APPLIED, AND A REAR-END CRASH COULD OCCUR WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING. |
| Remedy | DEALERS WILL INSTALL A REINFORCING SOCKET ADAPTER (AND CORRESPONDING NEW SOCKET) TO THE BACK OF THE EXISTING LAMP ASSEMBLY. IF NECESSARY, THE REINFORCING SOCKET ADAPTER WILL BE INSTALLED INTO A NEW LAMP ASSEMBLY AND THEN INSTALLED IN THE VEHICLE. THE RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN IN SEPTEMBER 2005. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT SATURN AT 1-800-972-8876. |
| Notes | GM RECALL NO. 05052. CUSTOMERS CAN ALSO CONTACT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION'S AUTO SAFETY HOTLINE AT 1-888-327-4236. |
