General Motors has released an Emissions Recall for select examples of the 2024 Buick Envista. The recall is due to an issue with the engine control module (ECM).
The problem: Affected Tri-Shield crossovers with the turbocharged 1.2L I3 LIH gasoline engine may have a condition in which the ECM does not properly control engine ignition timing following certain Auto Engine Stop/Start events.
The hazards: If this condition were to occur, the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (Check Engine Light) would illuminate, and the engine may run rough or knock. If the vehicle is driven with an engine knock, engine damage could occur.
The fix: Certified GM technicians will be instructed to inspect affected vehicles and reprogram the ECM as necessary. The fix should take roughly 30 minutes. It’s worth noting that proper engine ignition timing control will resume following a subsequent Auto Engine Stop/Start event.
Affected components: ECM
Affected vehicles:
Number of affected vehicles: It’s currently unclear how many units are affected by the recall.
Owners should: General Motors will notify owners of affected vehicles and instruct them to make an appointment with their local GM dealer.

When was the last time a vehicle wasn’t recalled. So much for technology engineers and computers.
At least GM recalls less than most. I don’t get why the Encore GX isn’t included in this one; the Trax and Trailblazer are.
Beachy, tomorrow they will be listed. I have a great idea to just get rid of the auto stop/start that most people dislike but Mary and company don’t care what their customers want or say. Retirement soon 😊
I’m sure GM would remove start/stop if they could to cut cost but they can’t due to emission standards, if you really want a change call your congressmen
