Chevrolet Colorado Recalls

The Chevrolet Colorado has 22 recalls spanning 2010 through the current model year, with the most serious recent issue affecting 2023 models where front wheel hub bolts may have been over-tightened during assembly and can loosen or break, leading to loss of vehicle control.

The 2023 model year also has a front camera module that can falsely detect an obstacle and trigger the automatic emergency braking system without warning, causing the vehicle to abruptly slow or stop. Seat belt buckle attachment bolts that were not properly tightened affect 2023 and 2024 models, meaning the belt may not hold an occupant in a crash. On 2024 models, a fuel pump lock ring that was not fully seated during assembly can allow fuel to leak in a crash, raising the risk of fire, and some vehicles left the factory with incorrect tires installed that the tire pressure monitoring system cannot accurately read.

The 2022 model year has a front passenger seat frame hook that may not have been properly welded, allowing the seat to shift in a crash. On 2021 models, incorrect seat belt anchor bolts may have been used, which can allow the belt to pull free in a collision. Going back to 2016, some vehicles have a front airbag that can inflate improperly in a crash, and a console compartment lid latch that can fly open and send stored items into the cabin.

The 2015 and 2016 model years carry a heavy recall load. The driver's frontal airbag can inflate incorrectly during a high-speed crash on 2015 and 2016 vehicles. On some 2015 models, the driver airbag wiring was reversed, disrupting deployment timing, and a separate issue with the inflator misaligned to the airbag backplate can cause steering wheel components to separate during deployment. Two separate recalls address electric power steering connections on 2015 models that can fail and leave the driver without power assist, particularly at low speeds. Front brake calipers on 2015 vehicles can develop air pockets that cause brake fluid to leak and extend stopping distances. The front passenger and driver seat frame attachment hooks on 2015 models may not have been properly secured to the body, leaving the seat inadequately anchored. A high-pressure fuel pump on 2016 through 2018 models can detach from its mounting flange, damage the fuel line, and create a fuel leak that raises the risk of fire.

On 2011 models, a gear position indicator issue can prevent the vehicle from restarting and allow it to roll away when the driver exits. A separate 2011 issue involves a windshield wiper motor crank arm nut that may not have been tightened, causing the wipers to stop working and reducing visibility. The 2010 through 2012 model years have a compliance issue where the secondary hood latch may be missing, meaning if the primary latch releases while driving, the hood can fly up and block the driver's view entirely.
