General Motors has released a safety recall for certain units of the 2024 Buick Encore GX and 2024 Buick Envista due to an issue related to the instrument panel.
The problem: affected vehicles equipped with the audio system and 11-inch touchscreen (RPO code IVA) as well as the eight-inch fully digital Driver Information Center (RPO code URO) options may contain software that can cause the instrument panel to intermittently black out during vehicle startup or while driving.
The hazards: if the instrument panel were to go black while driving, the driver’s attention may be unintentionally diverted, which could lead to an increased risk of an accident.
The fix: certified GM technicians will be instructed to inspect affected vehicles and reprogram the software as necessary. Notably, vehicles that received the updated software through GM’s previously launched service bulletin are not included in this recall.
Affected components: instrument panel.
Affected vehicles:
Number of affected vehicles: According to GM, 17,306 units of the Buick Encore GX and 6,289 units of the Buick Envista are affected by the recall, in addition to 35,186 Chevy Trax units.

Welcome to the world of screens and digital instrumentation. Just wait until these door to door screens begin to glitch and you have nearly zero way to do climate, radio, speed, etc.
I have a similar issue on my 22 enclave the camera mirror just reboots intermittently. Can’t get warranty on it even with video of it doing it unless the dealership can have it happen when they have the car. Just randomly goes out while driving. Not always though hence the crux of the problem. Chasing electric gremlins is a royal pita.
So wait a sec. The DEALERS are going to fix this?? Dealers that are completely incapable of fixing any kind of “technology” in cars right now? (Regardless of brand.) Not necessarily blaming the dealers. I’m sure they shoulder their share of the blame, but I imagine a lot has to do with inadequate support from “the factory” (diagnostic tools, training, etc.). Aren’t these those same “software” people who were whining about returning to the office??
