SUSPENSION:REAR
- The defect
- General Motors, LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2012–2013 Buick Regal Turbo and GS trim-level vehicles that were sold or ever registered, in Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, or Wisconsin. The rear suspension toe links may have received improper corrosion protection, which can result in rear toe link fracture.
- What it can cause
- Rear toe link fracture can cause a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will replace the rear suspension toe links and adjuster fasteners, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 3, 2026. Owners may contact Buick customer service at 1-800-521-7300. GM's number for this recall is N252537580. This recall expands previous NHTSA recall numbers 20V764, 21V633, and 21V00F.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .
How this campaign compares
At 17,050 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 83% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2012 to 2013, so the oldest vehicles on it were 14 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Buick vehicles have been recalled over the suspension 5 times before this, most recently in August 2021 as 21V633000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 2 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 183 complaints with NHTSA, 179 of them before this campaign was filed. 13 of those name the suspension, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in March 2012, 13 years before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 2 other recalls published here: 21V633000 (suspension), 20V764000 (suspension).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by General Motors, LLC with NHTSA on February 26, 2026 as campaign 26V113000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
