De plus, la commande de l'embrayage et le régulateur de vitesse demeuraient enclenchée, ce qui ramènerait le véhicule à sa vitesse de croisière une fois la pédale de frein relâchée à des vitesses supérieures à 12 mi/h, (régulateur de vitesse et commande de l'embrayage enclenchées), jusqu'à ce que la vitesse de déclenchement normale soit atteinte.  Un retour intempestif en vitesse de croisière ou des feux de freinage défectueux risquent de provoquer un accident."},"vehicles":[{"year":1988,"make":"BUICK","model":"REGAL","vehicle_id":"1988_buick_regal","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null}],"may_apply":true,"as_of":"2026-10-19","lookup":{"nhtsa":"https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls","tc":"https://wwwapps.tc.gc.ca/Saf-Sec-Sur/7/VRDB-BDRV/search-recherche/menu.aspx?lang=eng","maker":null},"attribution":["Contains information licensed under the Open Government Licence – Canada."],"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/recalls/tc/1988043"}
