What this recall means for you
Some replacement headliners installed in these vehicles as part of a prior repair may not have had the energy-absorbing foam blocks attached. Because of this, the vehicles do not fully meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 201, which covers occupant protection in interior impacts.
Without those foam blocks, there may be an increased risk of injury to occupants in the event of a crash, since the headliner is not providing the intended cushioning during an interior impact.
GM will notify owners, and authorized dealers will replace the headliner assembly at no cost to you. To check whether your vehicle is affected, look up your VIN for open recalls, or contact Buick customer service at 1-800-521-7300 and reference recall number 17275.
