Buick Equipment Recalls Address Emergency Jacks and Missing Owner Information
These Buick equipment notices concern an emergency jack and missing information owners use to operate their vehicles. Certain 2020–2022 Encore GX vehicles have a jack that can fracture if it is not positioned as directed in the owner's manual, allowing the vehicle to collapse. Certain 2024 Envision vehicles lack the tire and loading information label, creating a risk of improper tire inflation or overloading. The February 2026 electronic owner's manual notice names certain 2026 Enclave and Envision vehicles. Across the group, missing vehicle information appears in two notices, while the Encore GX recall concerns the physical lifting equipment supplied with the vehicle.
