Defect summary	General motors llc (gm) is recalling certain model year 2013 chevrolet sonic vehicles manufactured from may 29, 2012, through august 29, 2012. When a turn signal lamp fails to operate, the body control module (bcm) in these vehicles does not detect this condition and will not indicate the condition to the driver. Thus, these vehicles fail to conform to federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 108, "lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment."
Consequence summary	If the driver is not aware that the turn signal is not functioning and does not have the light repaired, other drivers may not be alerted that the vehicle is turning, increasing the risk of a crash.
Corrective action	Gm will notify owners, and dealers will reprogram the bcm and the vehicle's key fobs, free of charge. The safety recall began on october 3, 2012. Owners may contact the chevrolet owner center at 1-866-694-6546.
