MAKE/MODELS: MODEL/BUILD YEARS:
BUICK/LaCrosse 2005
MANUFACTURER: General Motors Corp.
NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 05V156000 RECALL DATE: April 19, 2005
COMPONENT: Service Brakes, Hydraulic: Pedals and Linkages
POTENTIAL NUMBER OF UNITS AFFECTED: 61594
SUMMARY:
On certain passenger 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.
CONSEQUENCE:
Pushing on the pedal will not apply the brakes and a vehicle crash could occur without prior warning.
REMEDY:
Dealers will install a new brake pedal push rod bushing and retaining clip and, if the clip was missing, a new brake pedal arm assembly. The recall
began on April 26, 2005. Owners should contact Buick at 1-866-608-8080.
NOTES:
GM recall No. 05038. Customers can also contact The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Auto Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
