Recall 23V-744: Electrical System

Reported Nov 6, 2023 · 60,154 vehicles affected · General Motors, LLC

Problem: 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.

Risk: A blank instrument panel will not show critical information, such as vehicle speed and warning lights, increasing the risk of a crash.

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.

Tether, Lower Anchor (On Car Seat or Vehicle) · reported Nov 2, 2026
today i put my baby into my car as i usually do with my joie mint latch seat. i heard both sides click into place and saw the green indicators on the seat which is supposed to mean the seat has properly latched onto my car's anchors. however, i noticed that the seat didn't look straight and was angled towards the right a bit so i started tilting it towards me (the left side) and the entire left "leg" on the joie seat came out from my car's seat, yet the indicator was still green. the seat malfunctioned and was indicating that it what latched into my car's lower anchor when it had not. it even…
