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.

Pushing on the pedal will not apply the brakes and a vehicle crash could occur without prior warning.

Dealers will install a new brake pedal pushrod 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.

In a crash, increased occupant injury could result from the no-lock condition.

Dealers will inspect the outboard seat belts for specific lot numbers and replace the belts if necessary. General Motors Corp. is enclosing an inspection procedure for the owners to use or they can have their dealers do the inspections.
