The 2007 Buick Rainier has 3 recalls, the most serious being a fire risk tied to the driver's door power window switch, where fluid can enter the module and corrode the circuit board to the point of shorting and igniting, even with the vehicle parked and unattended.
An earlier attempt to address this window switch defect with a protective coating did not fully resolve the issue, and the fire risk remains. There is also a headlamp recall where the headlights can fail to illuminate, reducing the driver's ability to see the road ahead and making the vehicle harder for oncoming traffic to spot.
