The 2022 Chevrolet Equinox has 5 recalls, the most serious involving tires that can shed their tread and a fuel pump module that can cut engine power, both of which can cause a sudden loss of vehicle control.
On the tire side, certain Hankook tires fitted to some vehicles can experience tread separation while driving. The fuel pump issue can starve the engine of fuel and cause it to stall without warning. Two separate recalls affect the driver's seat: a loose or stripped bolt at the height-adjust pivot and a faulty weld in the power tilt mechanism can both allow the seat to shift in a crash rather than holding the driver in place. There is also a child safety concern: excessive coating on the rear LATCH anchor bars can prevent a child seat from clicking in securely, leaving it unsecured in a crash.
