Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the engine oil and filter every 7,500 mi; spark plugs every 60,000 mi; coolant at 150,000 mi. The big-interval services (at 150,000 mi for coolant, and the transmission fluid) are the ones owners most often skip — on a lower-mileage example, assume the original fluids are still in it and check them first.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The 2025 Buick Enclave shows a notable uptick in complaints (36) compared to 2024 (7), though this remains well below the generation's peak years (2008's 536 and 2014's 290). The target year recorded zero recalls and zero NHTSA investigations, matching the clean record of 2023-2024, while TSBs increased to 410 from 346—likely reflecting the normal accumulation of service bulletins as the model year matures. The top complaint areas center on service brakes (including forward collision avoidance) and engine issues, with 2 crash-related complaints and no fire complaints reported. Compared to 2026's partial data (1 complaint, 1 recall), the 2025 appears to represent a typical early-model-year experience with slightly elevated consumer feedback before stabilization. The concrete takeaway: the 2025 Enclave shows no systemic safety concerns and maintains zero recalls, making it a reasonable purchase within this generation despite the modest complaint increase.
