The
Buick Lesabre has done well in the Buick industry. But just as most automobile dealers can tell you, there are also recalls on certain models. For instance look at these specs:
Recall Date:
AUG 09, 2002
Summary:
CERTAIN PASSENGER, MINI VANS, AND SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES HAVE AN AIR BAG INFLATOR ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE THAT COULD FRACTURE AT A WELD DURING A DEPLOYMENT.
Consequence:
PIECES OF THE INFLATOR COULD STRIKE AND INJURE VEHICLE OCCUPANTS AND THE AIR BAG CUSHION WOULD NOT INFLATE FULLY, REDUCING THE CAPABILITY OF THE BAG TO PROTECT THE DRIVER.
Remedy:
DEALERS WILL INSPECT, AND REPLACE, IF NECESSARY, THE AIR BAG MODULE ASSEMBLY ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN AUGUST 15, 2002. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT BUICK AT 1-800-521-7300, CADILLAC AT 1-800-458-8006, CHEVROLET AT 1-800-222-1020, GMC AT 1-800-462-8782, OLDSMOBILE AT 1-800-442-6537, OR PONTIAC AT 1-800-762-2737.

Of course, this does not mean that the 2002 Buick Lesbre airbag
will do this, but that it
may do this. So if you do have this vehichle, you can bring it back to the dealer for inspection. To learn of more recalls such as this one go to this link:
www.automotive.com/used-carsThe site claims (and from what I can tell this is true) that if there is a recall on ANY vehicle out there, they will know. So this may be of some help to those with any model Buick Lesabre or other car that may have a recall.
