General Motors issued a recall for about 60,000 Buick and Chevrolet SUVs because the screens that take the place of traditional driver’s gauges can go blank while driving.
The recall includes the:
- 2024 Buick Encore GX
- 2024 Buick Envista
- 2024 Chevrolet Trax
The company tells the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration the problem is software-related. It can “cause the instrument panel display to intermittently blackout at vehicle startup or while driving.” That would leave the driver unable to see their speed or critical safety warnings.
The company knows of no accidents or injuries related to the problem but has received 255 customer complaints. Given that all recalled models are new and have not been on the road long, that’s a relatively high number.
GM can fix the problem with a simple software update. Recall repairs are always free.
Many cars face recalls at some point in their lives. Automakers try to contact every owner to let them know they need to bring their vehicle in for repairs. But they aren’t always successful in finding everyone. You can see whether your car has any unaddressed recall issues using our recall center.
