2012 Buick Lacrosse Recall

Issued August 4, 2011
Issue
Hazard description
On certain vehicles, the StabiliTrak System may have been incorrectly calibrated during the manufacturing process. As a result, the system may not properly detect a malfunctioning sensor, and the warning lamp (indicating that the system is not operating) may not illuminate. Failure to properly diagnose a malfunctioning sensor may cause the Electronic Control System (ESC) to falsely activate, resulting in sudden changes in vehicle handling and deceleration, particularly at higher speeds, which may cause the driver difficulty in maintaining the vehicle's desired path of travel and speed. This could result in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will reprogram the electronic brake control module.
