Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

General Motors is recalling approximately 17,050 Buick Regal Turbo and GS trim-level vehicles from the 2012–2013 model years. These vehicles, which were sold or registered in specific salt-belt states, may have rear suspension toe links with improper corrosion protection that can fracture. This defect can lead to a sudden loss of vehicle control, and dealers will replace the affected links and fasteners for free.

Risk

If a rear toe link fractures while driving, it can cause the vehicle to handle unpredictably or result in a loss of control, significantly increasing the risk of a crash.
