6 recalls across 7 model years
The Buick Encore GX has 6 recalls covering 2020 through 2024 model years, with the most serious being a brake boost sensor fault on 2020-2021 models where a bad connection can cut off power brake assist, requiring significantly more pedal force to slow or stop the vehicle.
On 2024 models, a software fault in the instrument panel module can cause the display to go blank at startup or while driving, hiding vehicle speed, warning lights, and other gauges from the driver.
Going back to 2020-2022 models, the included emergency scissor jack can fracture if not positioned correctly under the vehicle, causing it to collapse and drop the vehicle suddenly onto anyone nearby. This same jack issue covers 2020 models under a separate filing with the same consequence.
