A SPRING IN THE HEAD LAMP PORTION OF THE HEAD/PARK LAMP SWITCH MAY FAIL AND PREVENT LATCHING OF THE HEAD LAMP PORTION OF THE SWITCH IN THE "ON" POSITION. THE SPRING COULD ALSO FAIL WHILE THE HEAD LAMPS ARE "ON" AND CAUSE LOSS OF HEAD LAMP LIGHTING. SUDDEN LOSS OF HEAD LAMP LIGHTING DURING SEVERE WEATHER OR NIGHT TIME DRIVING WOULD RESULT IN REDUCED DRIVER VISIBILITY AND A POSSIBLE CRASH. CORRECTION: HEAD/PARK LAMP SWITCHES WITH SUSPECT DATE CODES WILL BE REPLACED.

1994 Oldsmobile Eighty-Eight recall questions
Transport Canada lists 1 recall for the 1994 Oldsmobile Eighty-Eight model year. That counts campaigns naming this model year, not recalls on your vehicle: many cover only a VIN range or production window, and some only vehicles found on inspection.
Enter your VIN in Oldsmobile's Canadian recall lookup, or call a Oldsmobile dealer with your VIN. In Canada the manufacturer is responsible for showing recall and repair status for each VIN, so its lookup is the authoritative answer. Cardog uses your VIN only to find the model year; the recalls shown here are listed for that model year and are not matched to your VIN.
Not necessarily. NHTSA campaigns cover vehicles sold in the United States, and NHTSA's VIN lookup has no Canadian data. When a defect also affects Canadian vehicles, the manufacturer files a separate notice with Transport Canada, often under a different number and sometimes covering a different set of vehicles. For a Canadian vehicle, go by the Transport Canada listing and Oldsmobile's Canadian lookup.
Safety recall repairs are normally done at no charge by an authorized Oldsmobile dealer. The manufacturer's notice for each campaign sets out the remedy and any conditions, so confirm with the dealer when you book.
Once Oldsmobile's lookup or a dealer confirms a recall applies, book the repair with an authorized Oldsmobile dealer and bring your VIN. If the manufacturer's notice says not to drive the vehicle or to park it outside, follow that instruction. Parts can take time, so book early.
Follow the manufacturer's notice for that recall. Most allow normal driving until the repair; some tell owners to stop driving or to park outside until it is fixed. Cardog does not grade recalls by severity: the manufacturer's notice and your dealer are the source.
Manufacturers must notify owners they have on record. If you bought the vehicle used or have moved, update your details with Oldsmobile Canada so notices reach you, and check the manufacturer's lookup from time to time.
