Recall!!???

[Drewet88]

I was bored going to partsamerica.com and found out theres recalls about our cars. I didnt know and I dont know who knows so I'm going to post them in case anyone doesn't know. By the way, do I just go to a dealer for these I'm assuming they are free. O and would I have to go to the Buick Dealership since there is no Oldsmobile dealership?

20 years later, anyway, check with you local Buick dealer to see if they are authorized to do this and if they have access to see if the Olds service records show if the recall was completed already. We used to put a sticker on the rad x brace to indicate it was done, I weas an Olds SM in those years. The last one is for a late model car, the other ones do not list the years.
