Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
General Motors is recalling certain 2010-2013 Buick Lacrosse, 2012-2013 Buick Regal, and 2013 Chevrolet Malibu vehicles sold or registered in specific northeastern, midwestern, and mid-Atlantic states. The recalled vehicles may have rear suspension toe links that did not receive adequate corrosion protection during manufacturing. Road debris can cause the protective coating to break away, exposing the metal underneath to corrosion. Over time, this corrosion can cause the toe link to fracture.
A fractured rear toe link may reduce the driver's ability to control the vehicle and increase the risk of a crash. To remedy this issue, dealers will replace the rear suspension toe links and fasteners at no cost to owners. Owners who received notification letters mailed January 27, 2022, should contact their vehicle's customer service line: Buick owners should call 1-800-521-7300, and Chevrolet owners should call 1-800-222-1020. GM's recall number is N212346640.

General Motors, LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2010-2013 Buick Lacrosse, 2012-2013 Buick Regal, and 2013 Chevrolet Malibu 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 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. Corrosion may eventually cause the toe link to thin and ultimately fracture.
