"In the GM recall, overheating can occur in approximately 218,000 Aveo models equipped with daytime running lights. The DRL module in the center console may melt and cause a vehicle fire, according to recall information filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. GM has not yet found a solution to the problem, but while owners wait, they can contact GM customer service at (800) 222-1020.

Guess we don't have to rush off to a dealer yet--- they don't know how to fix it.

Hmm, wonder if this will apply to my '09 model that was manufactured in 2008.
the 09 model with the ecotec has an entirely different wiring harness.
the drl disable is a good solution.
Good thing I planned to disable mine anyway for my new headlights.
I've got an '05 SL... hope I'm ok... I don't think it has DRL, though I do manually run my lights on in the day.... I R CONFOOSED.
