In 2009, Buick's future seemed uncertain with GM's Chapter 11 reorganization, however the brand re-emerged as a "core brand", mainly due to their success in the Asian market. The 5-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty was downgraded to exclude pressurized fuel systems, engine control module, transmission control module, throttle body assembly, and clutch/pressure plate for manual transmissions. Recalls include seatbelt related issues with the 2010 Enclave and electrical systems errors with the 2010 Lucerne.
A large crossover SUV, the 2009 Buick Enclave can seat seven passengers in second-row captain's chairs and a third-row bench seat, while an optional second-row bench seat increases capacity to eight.
