Buick Cascada: deaths and injuries the manufacturer reported to NHTSA
Buick reported 8 incidents alleging a death or injury in a Buick Cascada, model years 2016–2019, in its quarterly Early Warning reports to NHTSA (49 CFR 579.21), through 2026 Q1. Each is a claim the manufacturer received, not a finding; NHTSA does not verify them.
By model year
Source: manufacturer EWR death and injury reports and production reportsThe model year is the one the manufacturer named in the report.
