2009 BUICK ENCLAVE Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2009 Buick Enclave has 5 recalls, the most serious involving the driver's airbag inflator, which can explode during deployment and send metal fragments into the cabin, potentially causing serious injury or death. Two recalls address seatbelt concerns. A steel cable inside the seatbelt assembly can fatigue and separate, leaving an occupant without proper restraint in a crash. Separately, the second-row seat's side trim shield can block the seatbelt buckle from rotating into its correct position when the seat back is folded and returned upright, which can prevent the belt from properly securing that occupant in a crash. There is also a side airbag concern: increased electrical resistance in the wiring connected to the seat-mounted side airbags and front seatbelt pretensioners can prevent both from firing in a crash, reducing protection for the driver and front passenger.
