Recalls are free repairs, initiated by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration or Buick itself, for a widespread safety problem. They might be a pain, but a recalled problem is better than an ignored one.

The wiper motors in 31,600 new SUVs can overheat and catch fire, according to GM.
If this winter is anything like the last one, would flame-throwing wiper motors be the worst thing in the world? I mean, it would put a normal defroster to shame.…

Must. Recall. More. Cars. It's addictive -- at least I can only assume it is, given that GM has recalled over 15 million vehicles in 2014 alone. Well twitch no more, Mary!

Earlier this month they recalled over 1 million vehicles for an ignition switch defect that can disable the airbags during a crash. The problem has resulted in at least 13 deaths and as it turns out GM has known about the defect for over a decade. You've probably seen this story mentioned in the news along with the words "terrible", "dangerous", "criminal" and "jerk-wad executives who care more about money than public safety."
