Buick may have rear toe links that received an improper amount of electrocoating (e-coat) corrosion protection, which could cause the e-coat to become brittle and break away when contacted by road debris.
The short version
General Motors, LLC reported a problem with the suspension rear. Here is what owners need to know.
These vehicles may have rear toe links that received an improper amount of electrocoating (e-coat) corrosion protection, which could cause the e-coat to become brittle and break away when contacted by road debris. Over time, the e-coat may chip away, exposing the metal toe link and making it more susceptible to corrosion.
A rear toe link fracture may reduce the driver's ability to control the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
Take it to a dealer — they will replace the rear suspension toe links and adjuster fasteners, free of charge.
