Buying a used 2023 Chevrolet Traverse? Check these 2 recalls first
Two recalls, both drivetrain: an axle shaft that can come apart and a transmission gear that can cause loss of power. That matches where complaints land — powertrain is the largest category at 29 of 87 unverified filings. The overall count is low for the model year, but 5 crashes and 8 injuries were reported within it, a higher share than the older Traverse years listed here.
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.
- Confirm the axle shaft and transmission gear recalls were completed on this VIN
- Test drive under acceleration and listen for clicking, clunking or vibration from the driveline
- Ask whether the vehicle has ever lost power or gone into reduced-power mode
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Chevrolet dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
