2000 Buick Park Avenue recalls

Fuel system, gasoline: delivery

NHTSA campaign 04V090000 · reported February 24, 2004 · GENERAL MOTORS CORP. · 910,873 vehicles potentially affected

The problem
On certain passenger vehicles equipped with 3800 v6 (l36) engines and certain delphi fuel pressure regulators, the regulators have a much higher than usual rate of fuel leaks. A leak can allow fuel to enter the intake manifold through a vacuum line. If the engine does not start when cranked, the fuel from the leaking regulator and a mistimed spark can cause a backfire.
The risk
The backfire can rupture the intake manifold. The rupture of the intake manifold can displace a fuel line, pulling an injector out of place, and causing a fuel leak and possible fire.
The fix
Dealers will install new fuel pressure regulators with improved diaphragms. The recall will be conducted in phased mailings. Phase 1 began on june 30, 2004, and phase 2 began on september 30, 2004. Owners should contact buick at 1-866-608-8080, oldsmobile at 1-800-630-6537, or pontiac at 1-800-620-7668.

Visibility: windshield wiper/washer

NHTSA campaign 00V346000 · reported October 30, 2000 · GENERAL MOTORS CORP. · 35,302 vehicles potentially affected

The problem
Vehicle description: passenger vehicles. Some of these vehicles fail to comply with requirements of FMVSS no. 104, "windshield wiping and washing systems." these vehicles have a wiper system microprocessor that is susceptible to voltage transients, which can cause a "latch-up" condition in the system controller.
The risk
If microprocessor "latch-up" occurs, the customer will not be able to operate the system in both the lower and high-speed modes required by the standard.
The fix
Dealers will replace the windshield wiper motor cover which contains the microprocessor.

Service brakes, hydraulic: foundation components

NHTSA campaign 00V114000 · reported April 17, 2000 · GENERAL MOTORS CORP. · 8,132 vehicles potentially affected

The problem
Vehicle description: passenger vehicles. Some of these vehicles have internal fluid leaks in the brake hydraulic control unit.
The risk
When the rear brake proportioning, antilock brake, traction control, or stability control feature is activated in some driving situations, the feature may not perform as designed.
The fix
Dealers will inspect the ABS hydraulic modulator unit and if necessary, replace the hydraulic modulator.
