The 1991 Buick Roadmaster has two recalls, the more serious being a corroded secondary hood latch that can fail to hold the hood closed, allowing it to fly open unexpectedly while driving.
The second recall affects the shoulder belt guide loop, where a plastic covering can crack and expose a steel plate underneath. In a crash, that exposed steel edge can cut through the seatbelt webbing, reducing the belt's ability to restrain the occupant.
