What Happened
The latch that holds your SUV's rear liftgate in place might not be strong enough to keep it closed in a severe crash. The latch is attached to the liftgate by a structural support, and if it's not secure, the gate could open unexpectedly.
Risk if Unfixed
If the liftgate opens in a crash, you or a passenger could be thrown out of the vehicle, which could cause serious injury.
Free Fix
Your dealer will add extra support to the liftgate to ensure the latch stays in place, free of charge. You should schedule this repair as soon as you get the recall notice, and you can call Buick at 1-866-608-8080 for more information.
