2 NHTSA recalls · 134 owner complaints on file

The 2019 Trax adds a recall for airbags that may not deploy, shared with several other GM models, alongside the same front control arm weld recall as the prior year. Owners filed 134 unverified NHTSA complaints, led here by engine and electrical rather than suspension, and those reports include nine crashes and eight injuries — higher counts than 2018. Airbag recall status is the first thing to confirm on paper.

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 by VIN that the airbag non-deployment recall repair was performed.
3. Verify the front control arm weld recall was also completed, not just scheduled.
4. Ask the seller about any stalling, warning lights, or electrical faults, the top complaint areas.
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.
