Service brakes, hydraulic: pedals and linkages

What is wrong
On certain passenger vehicles, the clip that secures the brake pushrod to the brake pedal arm pin could have been bent when it was installed. A bent clip may come off, allowing the brake booster pushrod to separate from the brake pedal.
Risk
Pushing on the pedal will not apply the brakes and a vehicle crash could occur without prior warning.
Remedy
Dealers will install a new brake pedal push rod bushing and retaining clip and, if the clip was missing, a new brake pedal arm assembly free of charge. The recall began on april 26, 2005. Owners may contact buick at 1‑866‑608‑8080.
