The 1990 Buick Skylark has two recalls, both involving fire risk under the hood: the daytime running light module can overheat near the battery, and loose fuel hose connections can leak gasoline into the engine compartment.
Either source of ignition combined with leaked fuel raises the risk of an underhood fire. The fuel hose connections at the body rail can work loose and allow fuel to drip into an area already prone to heat buildup, while the daytime running light module, mounted close to the battery, can generate enough heat on its own to start a fire.
