6 recalls found in NHTSA data as of September 22, 2026

For the 1994 Buick Century. These apply to the model and year, not to one particular vehicle: check your VIN to see whether yours is included and whether it has been repaired.

Has your Buick been repaired?

Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.

NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Buick dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.

1994 Buick Century recalls, newest first

September 15, 1995NHTSA 95V1730002,216,325 vehicles potentially affected

Seat belts › Front › Anchorage

Summary
These vehicles were assembled with rear outboard safety belt anchorages that may not withstand the required load. This does not comply with FMVSS NO.210, "seat belt assembly anchorages."
Consequence
Consequence of non-compliance: in a collison, stress can cause the attachment metal to tear and allow the anchorage to separate from the body of the vehicle. The safety belt may not protect an occupant in the event of a vehicle crash.
Remedy
Dealers will replace the existing anchor bolts with a new shoulder bolt and thread locking adhesive. Additionally, noise control patches will be applied at each anchorage.

October 4, 1994NHTSA 94V189000206 vehicles potentially affected

Steering › Linkages › Knuckle › Spindle › Arm

Summary
The right hand spindle nut was not properly tightened during assembly. This can cause premature wheel bearing failure and over time, the spindle can fracture.
Consequence
This would cause the wheel to separate from the axle and result in a vehicle crash.
Remedy
Dealers will inspect the torque on the right hand front spindle nut. If the spindle nut is undertorqued the dealer will replace the right hand front wheel bearing assembly and the spindle nut will be replaced.

January 12, 1994NHTSA 94V00800049,047 vehicles potentially affected

Vehicle speed control › Springs

Summary
In the event of a primary accelerator control spring failure, the secondary (back-up) accelerator control return spring will not return the throttle to the fully closed position, as required by FMVSS no. 124, "accelerator control system."
Consequence

Remedy
Dealers will replace the secondary throttle return spring.

January 8, 1994NHTSA 94V02100010,646 vehicles potentially affected

Vehicle speed control › Cables

Summary
During assembly, water may have entered the accelerator control cable conduit causing it to develop a high effort and/or binding condition in very cold weather.
Consequence
High effort or binding conditions cause loss of normalthrottle control or the throttle may not return to idle when the accelerator pedal is released. If this were to occur while the vehicle is in motion, a vehicle crash could occur.
Remedy
The dealer will purge the throttle cable of any internally trapped water, if it is present.

Remedy
Replace the cruise control cable.
