The 2005 Buick Allure has two recalls, the more serious being a brake system defect where a bent clip can separate from the brake pedal, causing the brake pedal to have no effect and leaving the driver unable to stop the vehicle.
The second recall involves the headlamp driver module, which can malfunction when underhood temperatures get high enough, causing the low-beam headlights and daytime running lamps to stop working and reducing the vehicle's visibility to other drivers at night.
