I must have been out of the loop, I didn't hear about this, no mention on the board.
I got a Safety Recall Notice today for my 2007 Lacrosse for the Headlamp Driver Module (HDM), under campaign 14V-755.
I actually replaced the HDM in November 2013; coincidentally, it had failed just a few hours after having an annual inspection performed at the Buick dealer. Unfortunately it was Thanksgiving Eve, and so I couldn't go back right away. Once I'd cooled off and searched the internets at the time and found out about the relay, by Friday morning I'd decided it was better just to replace the part rather than screaming at the dealer hoping for a resolution. It wasn't expensive, less than $50, but hey.
From NHTSA.gov (looks like it came out in late November 2014):
