The U.S. recall, tied to a software defect, covers 3.64 million vehicles in the 2014 to 2017 model years.
The all-wheel-drive Encore Sport Touring model is a small crossover utility vehicle that is powered by a peppy 1.4L turbo engine. It offers seating for five in a very quiet cabin, and is equipped with an impressive array of safety technologies.
Some of these compact SUVs in the 2015 model year have tire labels with incomplete information about tire rim size – a violation of federal safety standards.
New recalls cover such models as the Chevrolet Impala, Buick Encore, Cadillac ATS, Chevrolet Spark, Pontiac G3 and Chevrolet Aveo.
The automaker announces six new recalls involving such models as the Chevrolet Silverado LD and HD, GMC Sierra LD and HD, Buick Regal, and Chevrolet Caprice PPV. The two largest of the six recalls involve seats.
In addition to older models, this latest round of recalls includes some late-model Chevrolet, Cadillac and Buick vehicles.
Buick is one of just a few brands with a full line of 2013 Top Safety Picks. In addition, the Verano, Regal, LaCrosse, and Enclave all have a NHTSA 5-star overall rating.
The five-passenger, four-cylinder Encore dropped a couple weight classes to duke it out with a select class of fighters, while boasting an impressive cargo capacity at 18 cubic feet.
The vehicle will get 25 mpg for city driving and 33 mpg for highway.
Buick’s lineup will continue to expand in the coming year with two all-new models: the 250-horsepower (187 kW) Verano Turbo luxury sedan and the Encore luxury crossover.
