General Motors is recalling certain Buick Envista, Buick Encore GX, Chevrolet Trailblazer, and Chevrolet Trax vehicles because the rearview camera screen may display a distorted or blank image instead of showing what's behind the vehicle clearly.
A software problem can cause the instrument panel display to intermittently go blank. This can happen either right when the vehicle is started or at any point while it is being driven. When the screen goes blank, it stops showing information that is normally displayed there, such as the vehicle's speed and any warning lights that would otherwise be lit. As a result, the driver may not be able to see that information for as long as the screen stays blank.
General Motors is recalling certain Buick Encore GX and Chevrolet Trailblazer vehicles because of a problem with the emergency jack that comes with the vehicle, the tool that lifts the vehicle off the ground. If the jack is not placed the way the owner's manual describes, it can break while it is holding the vehicle up. Dealers will replace the jack with a new one at no cost to the owner.
Contamination at a sensor connection in the electronic brake boost system may interrupt communication between the sensor and the brake booster. This affects certain Chevrolet Corvette and Trailblazer, Cadillac CT4, CT5 and XT4, and Buick Encore GX vehicles. If that happens, the power assist that helps you brake could be lost, meaning you would need much more pedal force to slow or stop the vehicle. Dealers will replace the electronic brake boost module, free of charge.
Recalls and NHTSA owner complaints for each model year, side by side. Complaints are unverified owner reports, and better-selling or older years naturally collect more — read this as a record, not a ranking.

NHTSA lists 4 safety recalls covering the 2020–2026 Buick Encore GX. 3 of them are rated high or critical on this site. The most recent is "Buick and Chevrolet Rearview Camera May Show Blank Image" (NHTSA campaign 26V539000), reported Aug 20, 2026.
The 2020 Buick Encore GX has the most, with 2 recalls. The 2022 model year has the fewest of the years we cover, with 1. Newer model years have had less time to collect recalls, so a low count on a recent year is not a guarantee.
No. None of the 4 Buick Encore GX recalls on file carries a do-not-drive or park-outside advisory from NHTSA.
