3 recalls across 1 model year
The Buick Somerset has 3 recalls, all affecting the 1985 model year, with the most serious being a carburetor return spring that can fail and leave the throttle stuck open even after the driver lifts off the accelerator, making it impossible to slow the vehicle. The 1985 model also has a headlamp switch circuit that can overheat and cause the headlights to cycle on and off unexpectedly, reducing visibility at night. On two-door 1985 models, cracks can develop in the body pillar around the door striker bolt hole and spread to the point where the door flies open in a crash.
