2000 BUICK LESABRE Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2000 Buick LeSabre has 6 recalls, the most serious involving both the steering and brakes: loose tie rod nuts can cause a tie rod to separate and send the car in an unintended direction, and brake system issues can leave the driver with reduced or no stopping power. The brake concerns cover two separate problems. The brake booster attachment nuts may be loose, which can cause a low pedal, brakes that fail to release, or a complete loss of braking if the nuts back out entirely. Separately, internal fluid leaks in the brake hydraulic control unit can prevent the anti-lock brakes, traction control, or stability control from working correctly, reducing the driver's ability to maintain control in demanding situations. The remaining recalls both involve the headlights. The horizontal adjuster on the headlamp aiming mechanism may not move the reflector when turned, meaning the headlights cannot be properly aimed and may point in the wrong direction, reducing how well the driver can see the road ahead at night.
