ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL

What Happened
The Virtual Cockpit Unit Module is like a computer brain that controls your dashboard display. In some 2024 Buick Encore GX, Envista, and Chevrolet Trax models, this computer might not work properly.
Risk if Unfixed
If the dashboard display goes blank while you're driving, you might not see important info like your speed or warning lights, which could increase the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
A dealer or a software update will fix the problem by updating the VCU software, and it's completely free. You should schedule the update as soon as you get the recall notice, or contact Buick or Chevrolet customer service if you have any questions.

BACK OVER PREVENTION: SENSING SYSTEM: CAMERA

Manufacturer
General Motors, LLC
What Happened
Your vehicle has a rearview camera that helps you see what's behind you while backing up. In some 2024-2025 Buick Envista, 2024-2026 Buick Encore GX, 2024-2025 Chevrolet Trailblazer, and 2025 Chevrolet Trax models, the camera screen might show a distorted or blank image instead of a clear picture.
Risk if Unfixed
If the rearview camera image is distorted or missing, you'll have a reduced view of what's behind your vehicle while backing up. This could increase the risk of a crash, especially in tight spaces or when reversing into or out of a parking spot.
Free Fix
Your dealership will inspect the rearview camera and replace it if needed – all for free. You'll get a recall notice in the mail starting September 16, 2026, and you can also contact Chevrolet or Buick customer service if you have any questions.
