Great question! There have been five 2014 Buick Encore recalls since this model came out.
Here’s a look at the reasons for each recall:
  • Increased risk of electrical shock due to exposed wires on the engine block heater cord
  • Front seats in the car may not be securely attached to the vehicle
  • Faulty chassis electronic module which may cause the car to stall
  • Air bags or seat belts **fail to deploy in a crash—this issue resulted in two recalls
Before making an offer on the Buick, ask the owner if they have a copy of the repair records. That way, you can confirm which recalls have already been addressed.
