14 recalls across 11 model years
The Buick Envision has 14 recalls spanning the 2016 through 2026 model years, 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.
The 2024 model year has a separate brake-related issue where the brake lights can flash rather than stay on steadily when the anti-lock braking system activates, which can confuse drivers behind the vehicle. There is also a 2024 recall for all-weather floor liners that can trap the accelerator pedal, preventing the vehicle from slowing when the driver lifts off the throttle. A missing tire and load information label on some 2024 vehicles means owners may not have the correct tire pressure or weight limits readily available.
The 2026 model year has a recall for a missing owner's manual, which leaves drivers without guidance on safe vehicle operation. On 2021-2023 models, the daytime running lights can remain on when the headlights are switched on, creating glare for oncoming drivers. The 2021 model year has a separate issue where the communications module can misread a signal from the airbag sensing system, causing the airbag warning light to illuminate inconsistently or not at all when there is an actual airbag fault.
Going back to 2016-2017 production, the high-pressure fuel pump can detach from its mounting flange, damage the fuel line, and create a fuel leak that raises the risk of fire. 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 protection in a crash. An accessory tablet holder on 2016-2017 models can be installed in a way that prevents the front head restraints from fully seating, allowing them to loosen or come free in a collision. The tire and loading information label on some early 2016-2017 vehicles displays incorrect maximum weight figures, which can lead to overloading.
