Fluid may enter the driver's door module, causing corrosion that could result in a short in the circuit board.

- Remedy

If the module is not functioning properly, it will be replaced. These repairs will be done free of charge.

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.
