Buying a used 2020 Chevrolet Traverse? Check these 8 recalls first
The most-recalled Traverse year here, with eight campaigns: a fuel pump that can stall the engine, transmission fluid leaks, a possible cracked frame, two separate Continental tire defect recalls, and three airbag items covering roof airbag deployment and strength. One transmission recall applies only to wheelchair-accessible conversions. Complaints drop to 225 unverified filings, led by engine (70), with 11 crashes and 7 injuries reported.
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.
- Check whether the original Continental tires are still fitted, and whether either tire recall was addressed
- Ask for documentation on the frame inspection recall
- Confirm the fuel pump recall was completed and ask about any stalling episodes
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Chevrolet dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
