Buying a used 2018 Buick Lacrosse? Check these 3 recalls first

3 NHTSA recalls · 12 owner complaints on file

The 2018 Buick LaCrosse has 3 recalls addressing missing transmission bolts with leak and fire risk, possible fuel-pump detachment that can damage a line, and a rear-brake issue. Its 12 NHTSA owner complaints are unverified reports, with 5 involving electrical systems, 4 the engine, 3 the power train, and 2 fuel or propulsion systems. The complaint record lists 0 crashes, 0 fires, and 0 injuries. Repair documentation matters across all three recalled systems.

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 recall repairs for transmission bolts and inspect for leaks.
3. Request fuel-pump recall completion records and fuel-line inspection findings.
4. Confirm rear-brake recall completion and ask about electrical or engine faults.
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.
