Buying a used 2020 Chevrolet Blazer? Check these 3 recalls first
The 2020 carries the same critical transmission fluid leak and Continental tire recalls as the 2019, plus a third for potentially weak roof airbags in GM trucks and SUVs. None require parking outside or stopping driving. Owner complaints to NHTSA total 215, all unverified reports, spread almost evenly across electrical system (74), power train (72) and engine (68), with five crashes and seven injuries logged. Complaint volume and injury count both run above the 2019.
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.
- Verify all three recalls, including the roof airbag one, show as closed by VIN
- Ask whether the Continental tires were inspected or swapped out
- Test every electrical feature: infotainment, windows, lights, driver aids
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Chevrolet dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
