General Motors issues recall for 17K Buicks over suspension defect. The automaker is replacing rear toe link components in approximately 17,050 2012 and 2013 Buick Regal vehicles sold in high corrosion states due to a supplier's failure to properly apply corrosion protection. The defect can cause loss of vehicle control and increase collision risk. Only about one percent of recalled vehicles are expected to have the defect. GM will replace the rear suspension toe links and adjuster fasteners at no cost through dealerships. Owner notification letters will be mailed April 13. No injuries have been reported. This recall is part of multiple actions the automaker has taken since late last month addressing similar suspension issues.
