Buying a used 2020 Buick Enclave? Check these 6 recalls first
This is the heaviest recall year of the Enclaves listed: a fuel pump that can stall the engine and a transmission fluid leak, both critical, plus a cracked-frame inspection shared with the Traverse, two separate Continental tire defect recalls, and weak roof airbags. Owners have filed 56 complaints with NHTSA including two crashes and two injuries; these are unverified reports, but engine leads at 15, followed by unknown or other, electrical system and power train.
Before you buy
- Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
- Confirm the fuel pump, transmission and frame-inspection recalls were completed, and look underneath for fluid drips.
- Check the tire brand and dates — two Continental tire recalls apply to these SUVs.
- Ask for engine and transmission service records, the two largest owner complaint areas.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Buick dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
