5/5 Overall
NHTSA 5-Star Safety Rating
The 2020 Chevrolet Blazer has 3 recalls, the most serious being a transmission issue where missing bolts on the start-stop accumulator can cause a transmission fluid leak and eventual loss of drive power, raising the risk of a crash.
The tires on certain Blazers may have been over-cured during manufacturing, which can cause the sidewall to crack and fail or the tread belt to separate from the tire, leading to sudden air loss while driving. On the safety equipment side, a component inside the roof-rail curtain airbag inflator may not have been properly secured during assembly and can break free when the airbag deploys, reducing the curtain's ability to protect occupants in a side-impact crash.
