Buying a used 2019 Chevrolet Volt? Check these 2 recalls first
This year shares the 2018 Volt's two moderate recalls — potentially weak rear brakes and rear seat belts that may not lock. Owner complaints drop sharply to 34 unverified NHTSA reports, but the pattern is similar: power train and electrical system lead, with three crashes and one injury among them. Lower volume can reflect fewer of these cars on the road rather than a better record, so weigh it accordingly.
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 rear brake and seat belt recalls were performed by a dealer.
- Check rear belt retractors lock under a quick pull on all seating positions.
- Ask for hybrid drivetrain service history and any charging or propulsion fault codes.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Chevrolet dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
