BUICK REATTA Recalls

The Buick Reatta has 3 recalls, all affecting the 1990 model year, with the most serious being a faulty airbag crash sensor where reversed wiring can delay airbag deployment in a frontal collision, raising the risk of injury to an unbelted driver. Both airbag-related recalls trace to the same forward sensor assembly, where a wiring or construction error inside the sensor can slow the signal that triggers deployment. The result is an airbag that fires late in a crash rather than at the moment it is needed. The third recall covers a brake system indicator light that fails to illuminate when the ignition is on, the parking brake is applied, and the transmission is in Park or Neutral, a compliance issue under Canadian safety regulations.
