2007 Buick Allure, LaCrosse
Supercede:
The service procedure and claim information sections in this bulletin have been revised to include an inspection procedure and labor code. There may be
a few vehicles that were repaired before shipment to dealerships. Please discard all copies of bulletin 07003A, issued March 2007.
Condition
2007 model year Buick Allure and LaCrosse vehicles not only meet, but exceed government standards for side impact protection. GM recently
introduced into production, changes that add to that protection, including a revised wiring harness that provides a more protected path for the wires that
send the signal to inflate the side impact airbag. GM is making similar changes to vehicles built before the production change.
Correction
To enhance the side impact protection, dealers are to modify both front door panels and install additional energy-absorbing material, if necessary, and
also update the wiring harness in the door. The wiring harness update provides a more protected path for the wires that send the signal to inflate the side
impact airbag. Without this wiring harness update, under certain crash conditions, the side impact airbag may not deploy.
