2 NHTSA recalls · 23 owner complaints on file

The lightest recall record in this group: two medium-severity items, an airbag warning light that may not work and daytime running lights that stay on. Neither carries a stop-driving or park-outside advisory. Owners have filed 23 complaints with NHTSA including two crashes and no fires or injuries; fuel or propulsion system leads at six, then power train and electrical system at five each. These are unverified reports, but they point at the drivetrain rather than the recalled lighting and airbag circuits.

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. Watch the airbag warning light at startup — it should illuminate and then go out; the recall covers a light that may not work.
  3. Check whether the daytime running lights turn off as they should, and ask if that recall was done.
  4. Test drive for shifting and fuel system behavior, the top two 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.
