1994 BUICK SKYLARK Recalls — Canada & USA

The 1994 Buick Skylark has 3 recalls, all involving fire risk: the rear compartment pan welds can fail in a rear-end collision, allowing fuel to leak and potentially ignite, and the ignition switch can overheat and catch fire near the steering column. The fuel tank issue and the ignition switch concern are independent problems that can each lead to a vehicle fire. On the fuel system side, the welds holding the rear compartment pan may not be strong enough to contain the fuel tank during a rear impact, raising the risk of a fire after a collision. Separately, the ignition switch draws more electrical current than it was designed to handle, and that excess heat can damage the switch over time and start a fire inside the cabin around the steering column, even without a crash.
