The 1991 Buick Skylark has 2 recalls, both describing the same fire risk on vehicles with power windows: moisture enters the express-down window control module, causing it to overheat and potentially catch fire inside the door panel.
As the module degrades, windows can move on their own without any input from the driver and may stay in the down position. The overheating that follows can ignite materials inside the door.
