Important limitation
A recall campaign is not the same as an open recall on one car
Campaigns are attached to production ranges, equipment and configurations. Some vehicles in the same model year are not covered; others have already received the repair. Only a VIN-level lookup can confirm applicability and completion.
Source trail
Where this Buick Lacrosse data comes from
VinExposed combines model-level research with the vehicle-specific history you get from a VIN. Reliability scores and complaint patterns come from Auto Reliability Index's Buick Lacrosse research, which analyzes NHTSA records and independent repair data.
Recall counts describe a model year, not the repair status of one car. Confirm the exact VIN with the official NHTSA recall lookup and a vehicle-history report before buying.
Buyer questions
Buick Lacrosse research FAQ
How many recalls does the Buick Lacrosse have?
The available NHTSA model-year records contain 3 unique recall campaigns across 2 Buick Lacrosse model years. A campaign can affect multiple years and only certain production dates or configurations.
How do I know whether my Buick Lacrosse recall was repaired?
