Buick Recalls
Despite their premium reputation, Buick has experienced several recalls on their vehicles. In their SUV line, the 2008-2013 Enclave was recalled for side air bag issues. The Enclave has undergone at least seventeen recalls, even as recently as 2020, which recalled vehicles experiencing cracks in the right-hand frame rail of the engine, potentially leading to injury during a crash. Other Buick recalls include the front seatbelt cable and the Encore’s heated steering wheel, which can separate from the steering column.
