AIR BAGS:FRONTAL

General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2015-2017 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD, 3500 HD, Tahoe, Suburban, GMC Sierra 2500 HD and 3500 HD, GMC Yukon, GMC Yukon XL, Cadillac Escalade and Cadillac Escalade ESV vehicles and 2014-2017 Chevrolet Corvette, Silverado 1500, Trax, Caprice Police Pursuit Vehicle, GMC Sierra 1500, Buick Encore, and 2014-2016 Buick Lacrosse, Chevrolet Spark EV and SS vehicles. In the affected vehicles, certain driving conditions may cause the air bag sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) software to activate a diagnostic test. During this test, deployment of the frontal air bags and the seat belt pretensioners would not occur in the event of a crash.

GM will notify owners, and dealers will reflash the SDM software. Vehicles that have had a previous air bag deployment will have the SDM replaced. These repairs will be performed free of charge. The recall began on October 13, 2016.

Summary

Buick Encore 2015 VIN check

This page is a short report on the Buick Encore 2015: VIN KL4CJCSBXFB143846, production year 2015, mileage 172k km, petrol engine, automatic gearbox and an asking price of $9,800. Such a check helps to quickly understand how well a specific car matches the market, whether the price looks suspiciously low and whether the mileage is typical for this year.

Insight: The car is over 10 years old — the condition of key units and rust affect price and risk the most.

Market position

Based on current data, year ±2). Market prices range from $8,963 to $11,825 with a median of $10,450, and this offer is below the market: 6% under the median. This is not always a problem, but such a difference deserves extra attention to the car's condition, documents, registration history.

Insight: The price is below most similar listings — condition, trim or history usually explain the gap.

History & registrations

The report includes state registry data: owners — 3, transfers — 2, plate changes — 1, years in the registry — 2. The latest recorded operation: Imported from abroad and registered on 27.12.2022. This data helps to assess the legal transparency of the car before buying.

Insight: A moderate number of owners (3) — typical for the car’s age. The plate was changed 1 time — such changes can split the history into separate episodes. The car appeared in Ukraine recently — the history is short, its origin matters.
