What happened

General Motors is recalling certain 2013 Buick Regal, Chevrolet Malibu, and Buick Lacrosse vehicles that were 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. The recalled vehicles may have rear toe links with excessive electrocoating corrosion protection that can become brittle and break away when contacted by road debris. This condition may eventually cause the toe link to fracture, which could reduce the driver's ability to control the vehicle and increase the risk of a crash.

Dealers will replace the rear suspension toe links and adjuster fasteners at no cost to owners. Owner notification letters were mailed on January 3, 2022. Affected owners should contact Buick customer service at 1-800-521-7300 or Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020 to schedule the repair. General Motors' recall number for this issue is N212330130.

Details from the source

General Motors, LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2013 Buick Regal, Chevrolet Malibu, and 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 fracture.
