What Happened
The power window control module in your Buick Cascada is like a computer that helps your windows roll up and down when you want. In some 2016 models, a faulty part was installed, allowing your windows to close on their own or be closed from a distance, which can be a safety risk if not done correctly.
Risk if Unfixed
If your windows close automatically or are closed from far away without being designed to, it could cause unexpected window closures that might put your passengers at risk of injury.
Free Fix
Your Buick dealer will replace the faulty power window control module with the correct one at no charge to you. You should schedule the repair as soon as you receive the recall notice.

Original — What Happened
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2016 Buick Cascada vehicles manufactured December 1, 2015, to February 24, 2016. The affected vehicles may have had the original convertible roof control module (CRCM) replaced with an incorrect CRCM, that allows the windows to close automatically when the roof is closed and can allow the windows to be closed remotely from distances beyond 11 meters using the key fob. As such, these vehicles no longer meet the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 118, "Power-Operated Window Systems."
Original — Risk if Unfixed
If the windows close automatically or can be closed remotely in ways that do not meet all the requirements of FMVSS 118, the unexpected closure can increase the risk of injury to the passengers.
Original — Remedy
GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the CRCM with correct module, free of charge. The recall began on December 1, 2016. Owners may contact Buick customer service at 1-800-521-7300. GM's number for this recall is 16126.
