Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
General Motors is recalling certain 2012-2013 Buick Regal, 2013 Chevrolet Malibu, and 2010-2013 Buick Lacrosse vehicles that were sold or registered in specific northeastern and midwestern states. These vehicles may have rear toe links with excessive protective coating that can become brittle and break away when hit by road debris. Over time, this coating can chip off, exposing the metal underneath to corrosion. Eventually, corrosion may cause the toe link to fracture, which could reduce the driver's ability to control the vehicle and increase the risk of a crash.
GM will replace the affected rear suspension toe links and fasteners at no cost to owners once parts become available. Owners have already received multiple notifications about this recall. To arrange service or for more information, Buick owners should contact Buick customer service at 1-800-521-7300, and Chevrolet owners should contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020. The recall number is N202308930.

General Motors, LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2012-2013 Buick Regal, 2013 Chevrolet Malibu, and 2010-2013 Buick Lacrosse vehicles sold or ever registered in Connecticut, Delaware, the District of Columbia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, or Wisconsin. These vehicles may have rear toe links that received excessive 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. Corrosion may eventually cause the toe link to thin and ultimately to fracture.
