2000 Buick Lesabre recall: brakes
⚠️ What's wrong
Vehicle description: passenger vehicles. The brake booster to pedal assembly attachment nuts may be loose.
💥 The risk
If these nuts are loose, the brake pedal may be low, the assembly may be loose, the brakes may not release, and if the nuts back completely off, braking may be lost. Also fume and water intrusion to the passenger compartment CAN occur.
🔧 The fix
Dealers will replace any missing brake booster to brake pedal assembly nuts and tighten all four (4) nuts to specified torque.
Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
