5/5 Overall
NHTSA 5-Star Safety Rating
The 2021 Buick Envision has 2 recalls, the more serious being a faulty communications module that can prevent the airbag warning light from reliably alerting the driver when the airbag system has a problem, leaving a fault undetected.
The second recall involves the daytime running lights, which can stay on even when the headlights are active. When both sets of lights run simultaneously, the combined glare can reduce visibility for other drivers and raise the risk of a crash.
