The 2019 Chevrolet Express has 4 recalls, the most serious involving certain Continental tires that can develop a sidewall break or belt separation, leading to sudden air loss or tread loss while driving.
The rear windows on some of these vans may have been fitted with tempered glass instead of the required laminated glass. In a side impact or rollover, tempered glass shatters and breaks away from the opening more readily than laminated glass, raising the risk that an occupant could be ejected. On vehicles equipped with ASA Electronics Voyager backup camera monitors, the display can show a mirror-reversed image, causing the driver to steer in the wrong direction when backing up and raising the risk of striking an object or pedestrian behind the van. There is also an instrument cluster issue where the seatbelt-unfastened warning light fails to illuminate for the first five seconds after the ignition is switched on, removing the reminder that prompts the driver to buckle up before moving.
