Buying a used 2019 Chevrolet Cruze? Check these 2 recalls first

2 NHTSA recalls · 21 owner complaints on file

The 2019 Chevrolet Cruze has 2 recalls covering missing transmission bolts with leak and fire risk and a rear brake issue. Transmission fastener repairs and rear brake work are therefore specific items to trace in the service history. Its 21 NHTSA owner complaints are unverified reports, with 6 involving power train, 5 engine, 4 electrical system, and 3 air bags. These reports support asking about shifting behavior, engine symptoms, electrical faults, and airbag warnings without treating them as confirmed defects.

Before you buy

1. 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.
2. Verify transmission-bolt recall completion and inspect for leaks.
3. Request rear brake recall repair documentation.
4. Ask about shifting problems, engine faults, and electrical or airbag warnings.
5. Open recalls are repaired free at any Chevrolet dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
