16 NHTSA recalls · 448 owner complaints on file

The 2021 Chevrolet Tahoe has 16 recalls in this group, covering fuel tanks, seat and belt hardware, steering assistance, brake calibration, fuel pump stalling, driveshaft failure, rear wheel lockup, engine failure, and warning or lighting functions. Its 448 NHTSA owner complaints are unverified reports, led by 165 engine, 93 fuel/propulsion, 86 power train, and 56 electrical reports. Reports include 9 crashes, 3 fires, and 9 injuries. The breadth of listed issues makes a complete VIN-specific recall history particularly useful.

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. Request VIN-specific recall completion records, including fuel tank and fuel pump work.
  3. Verify seat, belt, buckle, and blocked center latch recall repairs.
  4. Review engine, driveline, steering, and brake calibration repair records.
  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.
