Chevrolet Blazer EV Front Control Arm May Break

NHTSA campaign 24V487000 · Reported 2024-06-28 · General Motors, LLC

critical How serious is it? About this label

Serious — a broken control arm can cause a sudden loss of control and a crash; the notice does not tell owners to stop driving, but get the inspection done promptly.

What's wrong, in plain English

The lower control arm is a metal arm that connects the front wheel to the body of the vehicle and keeps it pointed where you steer. On some 2024 Blazer EVs, the arm on the right front was made incorrectly and can crack and break apart. If that happens while you are driving, you can lose control of the vehicle. The dealer will inspect the part and install a new one if it is faulty.

What you should do

1. Look up your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to confirm your Blazer EV is included. 2. Call a Chevrolet dealer and schedule the front control arm inspection, GM recall number N242448540. 3. The inspection and any replacement part are free. Chevrolet customer service: 1-800-222-1020.
