Buying a used 2023 Chevrolet Colorado? Check these 3 recalls first
This model year carries three recalls: unintended automatic braking, front wheel bolts that can break, and loose seat belt bolts. The standout is complaint volume — 134 unverified owner reports to NHTSA, led by 45 on forward collision avoidance and 41 on electrical, plus 25 on service brakes. That pattern lines up with the automatic-braking recall rather than being separate. Recorded outcomes are comparatively low: 2 crashes, 6 injuries, no fires.
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.
- Ask if the automatic braking recall software update was applied
- Confirm front wheel bolts were inspected or replaced under recall
- Ask the seller whether they experienced sudden unprompted braking
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Chevrolet dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
