1 recall covering model years 2018. 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.
In some of these Chevrolet Sonic vehicles, a joint in the driver's seat-back frame may not have been welded properly. This can leave the seat-back frame weaker than it should be. If the vehicle is hit from behind, the weakened seat-back could fail to hold up the way it's supposed to, which raises the chance that the driver could be hurt in that kind of crash.
Complaints owners have filed with NHTSA about the Chevrolet Sonic. These are unverified reports; better-selling years collect more.
