Buying a used 2019 Chevrolet Equinox? Check these 4 recalls first

4 NHTSA recalls · 301 owner complaints on file

The 2019 Chevrolet Equinox has 4 recalls involving an AWD fuel tank seam leak, missing transmission bolts with leak and fire risk, a rear brake issue, and a rear seat weld problem. Fuel leakage and the seat structure issue make repair documentation important beyond ordinary service entries. NHTSA received 301 owner complaints, which are unverified reports, including 100 involving engine, 80 service brakes, 43 electrical system, and 40 fuel/propulsion. Engine symptoms and braking history warrant direct seller questions.

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. Check VIN applicability and completion of the AWD fuel-tank recall.
3. Request transmission-bolt and rear brake recall repair records.
4. Verify rear seat weld recall completion and ask about engine or electrical faults.
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.
