What is the SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:CALIPER recall for the 2019 BUICK LaCrosse? (Campaign #18V576000)

The brake caliper is the part that helps your rear brakes stop your vehicle smoothly. In some 2018-2019 models of your Equinox, Impala, Cruze, and other similar vehicles, the caliper pistons might not be coated properly, which could cause air bubbles to form and reduce your rear brakes' effectiveness. If your rear brakes don't work as well as they should, it could take longer to stop your vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. Your dealership will bleed your vehicle's brake system to remove any air bubbles and ensure your brakes work properly. This service is free of charge, so be sure to schedule it as soon as you get your recall notice.

What Happened

The start/stop accumulator is a small part in your transmission that helps it shift smoothly. In some 2018-2020 models of certain GM vehicles, this part may have been installed incorrectly, missing some essential bolts.

Risk if Unfixed

If the transmission oil leaks out because of the missing bolts, it could cause your vehicle to lose power and stall while driving. This could increase the risk of a crash, and if the oil spills onto a hot surface, it could also catch fire.

Your dealer will inspect the start-stop transmission accumulator and replace it if necessary, at no cost to you. This repair is free, and you should schedule it as soon as you get the recall notice.
