Detailed Description

This Remy starter is engineered as a remanufactured replacement for select GM vehicles that require a Mitsubishi-style starter design. The permanent magnet gear reduction construction helps deliver strong starting torque in a compact package, while the closed nose housing and 12-pinon-tooth layout support proper alignment with the engine ring gear.

The Remy Premium Remanufactured 16071 is also a practical search match for buyers looking for a 2006 Buick LaCrosse starter, 2006 Cadillac CTS starter, or 2006 Cadillac SRX starter with Mitsubishi OE reference. This part cross-references 12588493 and 12598756 for the same application.

What This Starter Helps Solve

• Slow or weak engine cranking
• No-start conditions caused by starter failure
• Intermittent starter engagement

• Electrical starting issues on 12-volt systems

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s original starter configuration before installation, including the closed nose design, clockwise rotation, 12-pinon-tooth count, and Mitsubishi OE reference. For 2006 Cadillac CTS, SRX, and STS applications, confirm the battery terminal does not use an anti-rotation tab, as noted in the fitment data. Compare the removed unit to part number 16071 to confirm connector and mounting match before installation.
