Buying a used 2020 Buick Encore? Check these 2 recalls first

2 NHTSA recalls · 19 owner complaints on file

Two recalls: the critical GM transmission fluid leak risk, and a missing front seat bolt recall listed for the Encore GX and Trailblazer. Complaint volume drops sharply from the 2019 car — 19 owner reports to NHTSA, with one crash and one injury. Engine leads at seven, then fuel or propulsion system, power train and electrical system at four each. Complaints are unverified owner reports, but engine and fuel items remain the most common theme across this generation.

Before you buy

1. 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.
2. Confirm the transmission fluid leak recall was performed and check for drips where it parks.
3. Ask whether the front seat bolt recall applies to this VIN and was addressed.
4. Get engine and fuel system service history, the leading owner complaint areas.
5. Open recalls are repaired free at any Buick dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
