Buying a used 2025 Chevrolet Equinox EV? Check these 6 recalls first
The 2025 Chevrolet Equinox EV has 6 recalls spanning door striker failure, tire tread detachment, cruise control that may not brake, pedestrian warning sound issues, and a missing electronic owner's manual. The record calls for checking both physical repairs and electronic updates. NHTSA received 166 owner complaints, which are unverified reports. Visibility/wiper accounts for 80, forward collision avoidance 44, and service brakes 22, making visibility equipment and braking-related feature behavior specific subjects for inspection and seller questions.
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.
- Request door striker and tire tread recall repair records.
- Verify cruise-control, pedestrian-sound, and electronic-manual recall completion.
- Ask about visibility/wiper faults and collision-avoidance or braking problems.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Chevrolet dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
