3 recalls across 1 model year
The Buick Reatta has 3 recalls, all covering the 1990 model year, with the most serious being a faulty airbag forward sensor where reversed wiring can delay deployment in a frontal crash, increasing the risk of injury to the driver.
The same 1990 model year has a related airbag issue where the forward discriminating sensor may have been incorrectly assembled, which can also cause delayed deployment and reduce the protection the airbag provides in a collision. There is also a compliance issue on 1990 models where the brake system indicator light fails to illuminate when the ignition is on, the parking brake is applied, and the shifter is in Park or Neutral, leaving the driver without the expected visual warning that the parking brake is engaged.
