2005 Buick Allure, LaCrosse
THIS BULLETIN IS BEING REVISED TO INCLUDE ADDITIONAL STEPS AND CLARIFICATION IN THE SERVICE PROCEDURE.
DISCARD ALL VERSIONS OF BULLETIN 05038, ISSUED APRIL 2005.
Condition
General Motors has decided that a defect, which relates to motor vehicle safety, exists in certain 2005 Buick Allure and LaCrosse vehicles. The clip that
secures the brake pushrod to the brake pedal arm pin could have been bent when it was installed. A bent clip may come off allowing the brake booster
pushrod to separate from the brake pedal. If this happens, pushing on the pedal will not apply the brakes and a vehicle crash could occur without prior
warning.
Correction
Dealers are to install a new brake pedal pushrod bushing and retaining clip and, if the clip was missing, a new brake pedal arm assembly.
Vehicles Involved
Involved are certain 2005 Buick Allure and LaCrosse vehicles built within the VIN breakpoints shown.
Important:
Dealers should confirm vehicle eligibility through GMVIS (GM Vehicle Inquiry System) prior to beginning recall repairs. [Not all vehicles within
the above breakpoints may be involved.]
For US and Canada
For dealers with involved vehicles, a Campaign Initiation Detail Report containing the complete Vehicle Identification Number, customer name and
address data has been prepared and will be loaded to the GM DealerWorld (US) Recall Information, GMinfoNet (Canada) Recall Reports. Dealers will
not have a report available if they have no involved vehicles currently assigned.
The Campaign Initiation Detail Report may contain customer names and addresses obtained from Motor Vehicle Registration Records. The use of such
motor vehicle registration data for any purpose other than follow-up necessary to complete this recall is a violation of law in several
states/provinces/countries. Accordingly, you are urged to limit the use of this report to the follow-up necessary to complete this recall.
