Buying a used 2020 Buick Regal? Check these 2 recalls first
The final year has the shortest recall list here: two medium-severity items, front seat frames with possibly bad welds and possible loss of backup power brake assist. Neither carries a stop-driving or park-outside instruction. Only two unverified owner complaints have been filed with NHTSA — one electrical system, one tires — with no crashes, fires or injuries reported. That count is too small to read as a reliability signal either way, given how few of these were sold.
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.
- Run the VIN for recall status on both open items.
- Inspect the front seats for movement or play in the frame.
- Confirm brake pedal effort stays normal and ask about any assist warnings.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Buick dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
