Buying a used 2021 Chevrolet Trailblazer? Check these 4 recalls first

4 NHTSA recalls · 192 owner complaints on file

Four recalls, none rated critical: missing front seat bolts, a brake assist system that can fail, a jack that can break, and a tire information label omission — the last two are tool and paperwork issues rather than driving defects. The 192 unverified owner complaints spread fairly evenly across unknown/other (53), electrical (41), powertrain (40) and engine (38) rather than pointing at one system; 7 crashes and 3 fires were reported.

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. Confirm the front seat bolt recall was completed, and check both front seats for movement
3. Ask whether the brake assist recall repair was performed
4. Look in the cargo area for the jack and check the door-jamb label for tire size and pressure
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.
