Buying a used 2019 Chevrolet Blazer? Check these 2 recalls first
Two open recall campaigns define this year: a critical transmission fluid leak affecting several GM brands, and possibly defective Continental tires on GM SUVs and trucks. Neither carries a stop-driving or park-outside warning. The 186 NHTSA owner complaints, which are unverified reports, cluster in power train (64) and electrical system (59), with engine third at 40; four crashes and two injuries, no fires. The powertrain theme overlaps the transmission recall, so drivetrain history matters here.
Before you buy
- Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
- Confirm the transmission fluid leak recall was completed, by VIN
- Check whether the tires are the recalled Continental set or replacements
- Look under the car and on the dealer's lift for transmission seepage
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Chevrolet dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
