I have a 2000 Malibu in which i replaced hazard light flasher along with rear taillight circuit board. Taillight was collecting water inside and possibly caused flasher unit to fail. Right now there is GM campaign to extend the warranty on flasher unit, and reimburse for the repair costs... Need some info on this campaign, will i be reimbursed just for the flasher unit , or for the taillight board as well? Is there any reimbursement for my time fixin' this?
Thanks
The recall campaign appears to be for a different defect than the one you experienced.

Condition
General Motors has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain 2000 and 2001 model year Chevrolet Malibu and Oldsmobile Alero, and Pontiac Grand Am vehicles. Some of these vehicles have a condition in which solder joints in the hazard warning flasher switch may crack. If cracking occurs, it may cause the audible flasher indicator, visual flasher indicator in the instrument cluster, turn signals, and the hazard warning flashers to work intermittently or not at all. If the turn signals or hazard warning flasher are not working, others may react more slowly to a turning or stopped vehicle and a crash could occur. Correction
Dealers are to replace the hazard warning flasher switch.
