2016 Chevrolet Traverse Recalls & Complaints

The 2016 Chevrolet Traverse has 5 recalls, the most serious being a driver's airbag inflator that can explode during deployment and send metal fragments into the cabin, posing a risk of serious injury or death.

Two other airbag concerns also affect this vehicle. The side curtain airbags may not be properly secured to their mounting points, which means they can fail to deploy correctly in a crash and leave occupants without side-impact protection. On the seating side, certain vehicles built within a narrow production window have third-row left seat frames with welds in the wrong locations, meaning the seat may not hold an occupant properly in a crash. There is also a fire risk: the windshield wiper motor on some vehicles can overheat during use, raising the possibility of a fire.
