5 recalls covering model years 2018, 2019, 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.
General Motors is recalling certain Buick Envista, Buick Encore GX, Chevrolet Trailblazer, and Chevrolet Trax vehicles because the rearview camera screen may display a distorted or blank image instead of showing what's behind the vehicle clearly.
A software problem can cause the instrument panel display to intermittently go blank. This can happen either right when the vehicle is started or at any point while it is being driven. When the screen goes blank, it stops showing information that is normally displayed there, such as the vehicle's speed and any warning lights that would otherwise be lit. As a result, the driver may not be able to see that information for as long as the screen stays blank.
A joint in one or both front lower control arms may have been welded improperly. If that weld breaks, the control arm could partially come loose from the vehicle.
General Motors (GM) is recalling certain Chevrolet Trax vehicles because a weld joining one or both front lower control arms may not have been done correctly. If an improperly welded joint like this breaks, the control arm could partially separate from the vehicle instead of remaining securely attached the way it is supposed to. This weld problem affects the left, the right, or both front lower control arms on affected vehicles.
On certain 2019 Buick Encore, Chevrolet Spark, Traverse, and Trax vehicles, the computer module that controls the air bags may have been left switched to a factory 'manufacturing mode' instead of being switched over to normal driving mode before the vehicle was sold. While the module is in that mode, the air bags will not deploy if the vehicle is in a crash.
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.
| Model year | Recalls | High / critical | Do-not-drive / park-outside | Complaints | Crashes | Fires | Injuries |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2018 | 2 | 2 | 0 | 101 | 2 | 2 | 2 |
| 2019 | 2 | 2 | 0 | 134 | 9 | 2 | 8 |
| 2024 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 184 | 9 | 8 | 17 |

NHTSA lists 5 safety recalls covering the 2018–2025 Chevrolet Trax. 4 of them are rated high or critical on this site. The most recent is "Buick and Chevrolet Rearview Camera May Show Blank Image" (NHTSA campaign 26V539000), reported Aug 20, 2026.
The 2018 Chevrolet Trax has the most, with 2 recalls. The 2024 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.
No. None of the 5 Chevrolet Trax recalls on file carries a do-not-drive or park-outside advisory from NHTSA.
