What is being recalled
General Motors, LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2018-2020 Buick Regal vehicles. In the event of a vacuum-power brake assist failure, a software error in the electronic brake control module (EBCM) may result in a loss of power brake assist. As such, these vehicles fail to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 135, "Light vehicle brake systems."
Why it is dangerous
A loss of power brake assist can extend the distance required to stop the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix (free at any franchised dealer)
Dealers will update the EBCM software, free of charge. Interim owner notification letters advising owners of the safety risk were mailed on August 19, 2022. Owner notification letters were mailed September 16, 2022. Owners may contact Buick's customer service at 1-800-521-7300.
Recall repairs are always free, regardless of vehicle age or where you bought the car. Quote the campaign number 22V-465 when calling a dealer.
