Buying a used 2021 Buick Enclave? Check these 2 recalls first
Much shorter list than the 2020: two recalls, both about airbags — one covering airbags that may not deploy properly and one specific to roof airbags — shared with the Chevrolet Traverse. Neither carries a stop-driving or park-outside advisory, but both matter in a crash, so completion status is worth confirming. Owners have filed 25 complaints with NHTSA with no crashes, fires or injuries reported; electrical system and service brakes lead at six each, then seat belts. Complaints are unverified reports.
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.
- Verify both airbag recalls are closed on this VIN and watch the airbag light at startup.
- Test the brakes on the drive; service brakes tie for the most-reported complaint area.
- Check that each seat belt latches and retracts, given the seat belt complaints on file.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Buick dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
