9 recalls covering model years 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025. To check whether your vehicle is affected, look up your 17-character VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls — a recall may apply only to some vehicles of a given year.
The door strikers on your vehicle were not properly heat-treated, which can cause them to break. If a door striker breaks, the door it's attached to can open unexpectedly, which increases the risk of injury to anyone inside. All affected vehicles are still at dealerships, so no owner notification letters are being mailed. Dealers will replace all four side door strikers and their attachment bolts, free of charge.
General Motors, LLC is recalling certain 2024 Chevrolet Blazer, Blazer EV, Equinox, and GMC Terrain vehicles because the door strikers may fracture. If a door striker fractures, the door it is attached to can open unexpectedly while the vehicle is being driven. Dealers will replace all four door strikers, along with the bolts that attach them, on affected vehicles at no cost to owners.
Certain Cadillac XT5, XT6, Chevrolet Blazer, Traverse and GMC Acadia SUVs may have been built with an incorrect transmission part called a sun gear. This can cause the half-shaft on the driver's side to come loose from the transmission.
On affected vehicles, the left-side half-shaft — part of what carries power from the engine to the wheel — may be missing a small retaining ring. Without it, the inner joint of the half-shaft can separate. If that happens, the vehicle can lose the power that drives it forward, or the vehicle could roll away on its own after being put in park.
General Motors is recalling certain 2021 Chevrolet Malibu and 2022 Chevrolet Equinox, Blazer, and Cadillac XT4 vehicles. The driver's seat cushion frame may have a weld that was not done correctly. This faulty weld is located in the power tilt-adjustment mechanism, which is the part that lets the driver's seat tilt up and down. The improper weld affects the frame that supports the driver's seat cushion.
The tires on these vehicles were left in the curing process for too long during manufacturing. Tires that are cured too long can develop a break in the sidewall, which can cause sudden air loss, or the tire's belt edge can separate, causing the tread or belt to come apart. Either problem can cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle.
Incorrect bolts may have been used at one or more places where the seat belts attach to these vehicles. If the wrong bolt was used at any of these points, the seat belt may not be properly attached to the vehicle. GM dealers will inspect the fastening locations and replace any bolts that are found to be incorrect, so the seat belts are properly secured to the vehicle as they should be.
On certain GM vehicles, the endcap on the start/stop transmission accumulator may be missing bolts. This can let transmission fluid leak out. Over time, the leak can get bad enough that the vehicle loses the ability to move forward. If the leaking fluid comes into contact with something that can ignite it, it could catch fire.
On affected vehicles, a part called the diffuser, inside the roof-rail air bag inflator, may not have been properly attached to the inflator. This means the diffuser could come apart from the inflator when the air bag deploys.
Recalls and NHTSA owner complaints for each model year, side by side. Complaints are unverified owner reports, and better-selling or older years naturally collect more — read this as a record, not a ranking.

The 2020 Chevrolet Blazer has the most, with 3 recalls. The 2021 model year has the fewest of the years we cover, with 1. Newer model years have had less time to collect recalls, so a low count on a recent year is not a guarantee.
