Buying a used 2018 Chevrolet Tahoe? Check these 3 recalls first
All three recalls on this year involve stopping and steering: two cover loss of brake power assist, and one covers GM trucks and SUVs that may suddenly pull to one side. None carries a stop-driving or park-outside warning. Of 103 unverified complaints filed with NHTSA, service brakes account for 19, with power train and engine at 20 each and a large unknown/other group. Reported outcomes include 6 crashes and 5 injuries.
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.
- Test brake pedal feel and assist repeatedly during the drive
- Confirm by VIN that both brake assist recalls were completed
- Note any pulling to one side when braking or coasting
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Chevrolet dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
