Buying a used 2019 Chevrolet Traverse? Check these 3 recalls first

3 NHTSA recalls · 404 owner complaints on file

Three recalls: the transmission fluid leak risk carried over from 2018, side curtain airbags possibly improperly attached, and airbags that may not deploy. Complaints remain very high at 404 unverified filings, again led by powertrain (166) and electrical (111). The reported outcomes are heavier than neighboring years — 14 crashes and 16 injuries — though these are owner accounts NHTSA has not verified.

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. Verify all three recalls are closed on this VIN, especially the two airbag campaigns
3. Check that the airbag warning light illuminates at startup and then goes out
4. Ask for transmission service history and watch for fluid leaks or harsh shifting
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.
