What is being recalled
General Motors is recalling certain model year 2013 Buick Encore vehicles manufactured between December 9, 2012 and December 28, 2012, and equipped with a heated steering wheel. The steering wheel fastener may not have been properly installed. This could cause the steering wheel to come loose or separate from the steering column.
Why it is dangerous
If the steering wheel separates from the steering column while driving, the ability to steer could be lost, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix (free at any franchised dealer)
General Motors will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and make any necessary repairs on the steering wheel. These services will be provided at no charge to the customer. The safety recall began on May 21, 2013. Owners may contact General Motors at 1-800-521-7300. This is General Motors campaign number 13098.
Recall repairs are always free, regardless of vehicle age or where you bought the car. Quote the campaign number 13V-105 when calling a dealer.
