Electrical system: instrument cluster/panel

General Motors, LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2024 Buick Encore GX, Envista, and Chevrolet Trax vehicles. The software in the Virtual Cockpit Unit Module (VCU) may cause the instrument panel display to intermittently go blank at vehicle startup or while driving.

A blank instrument panel will not show critical information, such as vehicle speed and warning lights, increasing the risk of a crash.

In owners’ own words

Electrical system mileage not reported 4 mo in service
Instrument panel goes blank and blacks out while driving, this poses a huge safety risk!! I am unable to use anything in the instrument panel. There was a recall for some Trax's but it says mine doesn't qualify, I don't know why!! Chevrolet has looked at it and everything but they are saying they cannot fix the problem. It has been happening for the past 6-7 months about once a week, ever since we purchased the vehicle. I have videos to show proof if needed.
Electrical system mileage not reported 0 mo in service
Driver-side rear window has intermittently failed to open since vehicle purchase. When it doesn't open, I can still hear the motor click when the button is pressed. I confirmed no obstacles or sticky residue. Dealer ordered a replacement window motor months ago, but it has not arrived.
