357 recalls across 32 models
Buick has 32 models with recall activity in our database, spanning 1965 through 2026. Across those models, 357 recall campaigns are recorded, and the severity distribution skews heavily toward the upper tiers: 47% of campaigns fall into the Critical tier and 29% into the High tier under the severity rating system, meaning roughly three out of four recorded recalls involve the categories associated with crash risk, fire, or serious injury. The remaining campaigns break down as 9% Medium, 15% Low, and 1% Informational.
The Regal leads the lineup with 70 recalls across its production run, the highest total of any model in the database for this make. The Century follows at 42 recalls, and the Skylark accounts for 36. Together those three models represent just under half of all recall activity recorded for the brand, though the remaining 29 models in the database contribute meaningful volume as well, reflecting recall campaigns that span six decades of the lineup. The year range from 1965 through 2026 captures both vintage campaigns issued retroactively and more recent activity, giving the database a broad cross-section of the engineering eras and regulatory environments in which these vehicles were produced and subsequently addressed.
