Electrical issue
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
General Motors, LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2024 Buick Encore GX, Envista, and Chevrolet Trax vehicles. The software in the Virtual Cockpit Unit Module (VCU) may cause the instrument panel display to intermittently go blank at vehicle startup or while driving.
Consequence
A blank instrument panel will not show critical information, such as vehicle speed and warning lights, increasing the risk of a crash.
Full campaign recordRemedy
The VCU software will be updated by a dealer or through an over-the-air (OTA) update, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed December 4, 2023. Owners may contact Buick customer service at 1-800-521-7300 or Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020. GM's number for this recall is A232424320.

What the ratings mean
NHTSA gives the 2024 Buick Envista 4 out of 5 stars overall, level with the 4-star median for the 4 comparable 2024 vehicles NHTSA rated in this class.
NHTSA published results for every NCAP test in this program, so the overall star rating rests on a complete set of crash and rollover results.
NHTSA's dynamic test put this vehicle's rollover probability at 15.5% in a single-vehicle crash — the figure behind the rollover star rating, published here because the star alone hides how wide each band is.

How this compares
At 30 MPG combined, the 2024 Buick Envista ranks 1st of 4 small station wagons EPA rated for 2024 — exactly the 30 MPG median for that group.
That places it among the thirstiest vehicles in its class. If annual mileage is high, the running-cost gap against a class-average rival compounds quickly.
