Buying a used 2023 Chevrolet Equinox? Check these 3 recalls first
The 2023 Chevrolet Equinox has 3 recalls involving a loose driver seat bolt, an airbag sensor issue, and child seat anchors blocked by coating. Its 99 NHTSA owner complaints emphasize different areas: fuel/propulsion system has 46 reports, engine 18, and service brakes 16. These complaints are unverified owner reports rather than confirmed defects. The listed recall work centers on seating and restraint components, while the complaint record also warrants questions about running behavior and braking.
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.
- Obtain VIN completion records for the seat bolt and airbag sensor recalls.
- Verify child seat anchors are free of obstructing coating.
- Ask about fuel-system symptoms, engine problems, and brake repairs.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Chevrolet dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
