Envoy

On December 20, 2015 we were traveling after dark (7:30 pm) and the head lamps went off. We managed to pull out of traffic safely. Could not figure out what happened. After sitting for approximately 5 minutes the lamps came back on and we were driving to our home and the lamps went off again. I took the vehicle to a Chevy dealer and they could not help me. I then called the GMC dealer and got the same response. I then checked online and found out that GM knows of this problem which is caused by a headlamp module overheating. I know this problem is occurring to other people so why hasn't there been a recall.? help.
