Buick Car Recalls
To protect their consumers, vehicle manufacturers will recall any vehicle model that puts a consumers safety at risk. Due to safety belt buckle problems, steering knuckle problems and possible electrical shorts, Buick has recalled several vehicles to correct problems in their late-model cars. Under recall, needed repairs are completed free of charge.
2009 Buick Lucerne
On June 4, 2010, General Motors Corporation started a recall to correct an electrical system malfunction in 1,365,070 2009 Buick Lucernes. Under the recall, a fuse is added to the cars control circuit harness to reduce the risk of a electrical short on the printed circuit board.
Because additional problems concerning the heated washer fluid modules (HWFS) were reported after the electrical problems were corrected, dealers are also permanently disabling and removing the HWFS. The degree of damage around the modules varied from vehicle to vehicle. Some modules experienced slight melting while others had extensive melting of the plastic around the HWFS fluid chamber. An insert is being will be attached to the owners manual to indicate that the feature has been disabled and removed from the vehicle.
