GMC Hummer EV's taillights cost thousands to replace
Why would a taillight housing cost that much? Part of the cost comes from the fact that GM couldn’t parts-share its way through the design of a, but most of the price comes from the complexity of the lights. The Hummer offers elaborate lighting sequences that require microchips and other components, all of which cost money. There’s also the fact that the Hummer EV is too new for General Motors to take advantage of its usual economies of scale in mass-produced vehicles.
General Motors recalled the Hummer EV earlier this year for issues with the taillights. Though the problem was software-related, GM had to replace the entire light units because the software controlling them was actually embedded in the lights. It’s true that there are very few vehicles that are to impact the Hummer’s taillights, but we hope the owners of those vehicles never have to file an insurance claim to replace one.
