CHEVROLET TRAVERSE Recalls

The Chevrolet Traverse has 5 recalls spanning 2014 through 2023, with the most serious being a missing half-shaft retaining ring on 2023 models that can cause the driveshaft joint to separate, resulting in total loss of drive power or the vehicle rolling away when parked. Two separate airbag recalls affect the 2020-2022 model years. On 2020-2022 vehicles, mismatched electrical terminals in the roof rail airbag harness connectors can prevent the side curtain airbags from deploying in a crash. On 2021 models specifically, some vehicles that passed through dealer service may have received incorrect airbag calibration software, which can cause the frontal airbags to deploy incorrectly or not at all in a crash. There is also a drivetrain issue affecting 2020-2021 wheelchair accessible vehicles with the Power In-floor Ramp conversion: a plastic wheel-well shroud can chafe against the transmission case, wear through, and cause a transmission fluid leak that can cut drive power or ignite if fluid contacts a heat source. Going back to early production, a subset of 2014 models built in mid-2013 has engine control module software that causes the fuel gauge to read inaccurately, which can lead to the vehicle running out of fuel unexpectedly and stalling in traffic.
