3 recalls across 3 model years
The Buick Estate Wagon has 3 recalls spanning the 1977-1990 production run, the most serious affecting 1977 models where a child can enter the rear storage compartment and become trapped inside, unable to open the door from within, with suffocation a risk if help is not available.
The 1986 model year has a headlight switch with electrical contacts that can cause an intermittent circuit, making the headlights cut out suddenly during nighttime or poor-weather driving. On 1990 models, a wiring error at the daytime running light circuit reverses two wires and prevents current from reaching the system, leaving daytime running lights inoperative.
