Buying a used 2025 Chevrolet Equinox EV? Check these 6 recalls first
Six recalls is a long list for one model year: doors that may unlatch and open, tire tread that can peel off, two pedestrian alert sound items, a cruise control that may not brake, and a missing electronic owner's manual download. Owners filed 163 unverified complaints with NHTSA, with visibility/wiper dominating at 80 and forward collision avoidance at 41; four crashes and two injuries were reported, no fires. The door latch and tire tread items are the two rated high.
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 door latch recall repair and open/close every door
- Check whether the recalled tires were replaced, and inspect tread
- Ask about wiper and visibility problems, and test cruise control 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.
