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

2 NHTSA recalls · 19 owner complaints on file

The 2020 Buick Encore has 2 recalls in this group: missing transmission bolts associated with leak and fire risk, and missing seat bolts. The recall record calls for separate confirmation of transmission and seat attachment repairs. The supplied NHTSA record contains 19 unverified owner complaints, with 1 crash, 0 fires, and 1 injury reported. Engine has 7 category entries, while fuel/propulsion system, power train, and electrical system each have 4. Those reports do not establish a shared underlying defect.

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. Verify transmission bolt recall completion and inspect for leaks.
3. Request proof that the missing seat bolt recall was completed.
4. Ask about engine, fuel-system, shifting, and electrical repair history.
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.
