Summary
The Buick Envision has 10 recalls spanning 2016 through 2024, with the most serious being a brake master cylinder line defect on 2016 models where the lines can crack, leak fluid, and reduce or eliminate braking ability, raising the risk of a crash.
The 2024 model year has three recalls worth noting. All-weather floor liners installed at the dealer can trap the accelerator pedal underneath, preventing the pedal from returning when released and causing unintended acceleration. Separately, brake lamps on 2024 models can flash rather than stay lit when the anti-lock braking system activates, which can confuse drivers behind the vehicle during a braking event. There is also a missing tire and load information label on some 2024 vehicles, which means owners lack the reference needed to confirm correct tire pressure and cargo limits.
On 2016-2017 models, an accessory tablet holder that clips onto front seat head restraints may have been installed incorrectly, leaving the head restraint posts not fully seated in the seatback. A loosely mounted or dislodged head restraint provides less neck protection in a crash. Some 2016-2017 vehicles that received a replacement headliner as a service repair may be missing the energy-absorbing foam blocks behind it, reducing head impact protection in a crash. The tire and loading information label on early 2016-2017 production also shows incorrect maximum weight figures, which can lead to overloading and reduced vehicle control.
