NHTSA Campaign 11V404000 Recall Details

What This Recall Means

Component

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)

What Happened

Your vehicle's Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system has an incorrect calibration that might not detect a sensor malfunction, and the warning light won't turn on when it should.

Risk if Unfixed

If this isn't fixed, the ESC system might suddenly activate and cause your vehicle to handle differently, making it harder to control, especially at high speeds, and could even lead to a crash without warning.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix

We'll reprogram your Electronic Brake Control Module at no cost to you, and you can schedule this fix at a Buick dealership starting from September 12, 2011.
