Chevrolet Trax Recalls

The Chevrolet Trax has 10 recalls spanning 2013 through 2024, with the most serious being a front lower control arm defect on 2015-2019 models where a weld in the arm can break, causing a front wheel to splay outward and making the vehicle difficult to steer or control.

On 2024 models, instrument panel software can cause the display to go blank at startup or while driving, hiding vehicle speed and warning lights. Going back to 2019, the airbag sensing module on some vehicles may have been left in manufacturing mode, preventing airbags from deploying in a crash. The 2014-2017 model years have a separate airbag and seatbelt pretensioner concern: a wiring issue can prevent the front airbags and pretensioners from firing in a crash, leaving the driver and front passenger without full restraint protection. That same pretensioner issue also extends to 2015-2016 models under a related filing.

On 2015 models specifically, the steering column housing can wear against the electric power steering circuit board, causing a sudden loss of power steering assist. That same year also has a tire placard that omits rim size information, which can lead to incorrect wheel replacements.

The 2015-2016 model years equipped with a Bring Your Own Media radio can fail to chime when the seatbelt is unfastened or the key is left in the ignition. A broader version of that radio issue covers 2013-2016 models, where the chime that warns of a key left in the ignition after a longer delay also fails to sound, raising the risk of vehicle theft.
