Buying a used 2023 Chevrolet Equinox? Check these 3 recalls first
A lighter recall record than earlier years and no critical entries. The highest-rated item is a passenger airbag that may not switch off as intended; the other two are a loose driver seat bolt and blocked child seat anchors. No stop-driving or park-outside instruction applies. NHTSA holds 95 unverified owner complaints (4 crashes, no fires, 3 injuries), with fuel and propulsion the largest area at 44, then engine and service brakes.
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 passenger airbag recall repair and watch the airbag status light with a passenger seated
- Check the driver seat for looseness and the child seat anchors for access
- Ask about any fuel, propulsion or drivability issues and request service records
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Chevrolet dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
