SUSPENSION:REAR

Manufacturer

What Happened
The rear suspension toe links in your Buick Regal Turbo or GS are like the knees that help steer your wheels straight. They might not have gotten the right protection from rust, which could make them break.
Risk if Unfixed
If the toe links break, you could lose control of your vehicle, especially on uneven roads. This could lead to a crash.
Free Fix
Your Buick dealer will swap out the toe links and adjuster fasteners with new, rust-resistant ones – at no cost to you. You'll get a notice about the repair, but you can also call Buick directly at 1-800-521-7300 to schedule it.

General Motors, LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2010-2013 Buick Lacrosse, 2012-2013 Buick Regal, and 2013 Chevrolet Malibu vehicles sold or ever registered in Connecticut, Delaware, the District of Columbia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, or Wisconsin. These vehicles may have rear toe links that received an improper amount of electrocoating (e-coat) corrosion protection, which could cause the e-coat to become brittle and break away when contacted by road debris. Over time, the e-coat may chip away, exposing the metal toe link and making it more susceptible to corrosion. Corrosion may eventually cause the toe link to thin and ultimately fracture.
Original — Risk if Unfixed
A rear toe link fracture may reduce the driver's ability to control the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

SUSPENSION:REAR

Manufacturer
General Motors, LLC
What Happened
The rear toe links in your vehicle are the flexible parts that connect the suspension to the rear wheels. They've been treated with a special protective coating that's supposed to prevent rust, but it might have broken down in areas where road salt is commonly used.
Risk if Unfixed
If these links fail, they can break apart from the road debris, making it harder to control your vehicle. This could lead to a loss of control and increase the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your Buick or Chevrolet dealer will replace the rear toe links and adjuster fasteners with new, rust-resistant parts, absolutely free. You'll receive a recall notice with instructions on how to schedule the repair.
