Buick affected vehicles, equipped with the power liftgate option, have gas struts that hold the power liftgate up when open.
The short version
General Motors LLC reported a problem with the body hatchback/liftgate. Here is what owners need to know.
The affected vehicles, equipped with the power liftgate option, have gas struts that hold the power liftgate up when open. These struts may prematurely wear and the open liftgate may suddenly fall.
If the open liftgate unexpectedly falls, it may strike a person, increasing their risk of injury.
GM will notify owners, and dealers will update the software for the power liftgate actuator motor control unit so that the motor will prevent the rapid closing of the lift gate, free of charge.
