Is P0014 a known problem on Buick vehicles?

It is a documented one: NHTSA's files hold 39 manufacturer filings and 1 owner report naming P0014 on 12 Buick model years (2017–2025). Whether it is a problem on one particular car is a diagnosis, not a count — but a bulletin that names the code on your model year is the place to start.

Which Buick models does P0014 appear on most?

2018 Enclave (10 documents), 2018 LaCrosse (8 documents), 2017 LaCrosse (5 documents).

Does P0014 on a Buick mean it is recalled?

No. Recalls are filed by campaign and matched by VIN; no recall is triggered by a scan tool. Check the VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls, or open the model year's page here for the campaigns filed against it.
