Are there any 2016 Buick Encore recalls?

I’m thinking about buying a used Buick Encore, but I’m not sure what year I’d prefer yet. Are there any 2016 Buick Encore recalls?

To date, there have been two 2016
Buick Encore
recalls issued by the National Highway and Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
When vehicle recalls are issued, manufacturers must notify registered owners within 60 days of the decision, offering a suitable solution on their part to address the problem.
The first recall was issued in 2016 and a second was issued in 2017. Both 2016 Buick Encore recalls were related to problems with the front airbags that could prevent them from deploying in a collision.
If you’re thinking about buying a used car but are worried about potential recalls, you can check its VIN number to review any recall information. You might also be able to see whether the vehicle received the necessary repair.
To keep tabs on 2016 Buick Encore recalls, manufacturer communications, and complaints reported by other drivers, visit the
NHTSA website
. You can also sign up for future recall alerts there.
