    August 20, 2026 · 306,511 vehicles · Rearview Camera

    The rearview camera screen may display a distorted or blank image.

    Risk: A rearview image that does not display correctly reduces the driver's view behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

    June 10, 2021 · 135,400 vehicles · Other Equipment

  • 2021 Chevrolet Trailblazer Brake Recall (20V588)
    September 24, 2020 · 3,677 vehicles · Brakes

    Sensor connection contamination in the electronic brake boost system may cause an interruption of communication between the sensor and the brake boost system.

    Risk: If communication with the sensor is interrupted, the electronic brake boost assist could be lost. Extra pedal force will be required to slow and stop the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

    Fix: GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the electronic brake boost module, free of charge.

  • 2021 Chevrolet Trailblazer Seat Fastener Recall (20V537)
    September 3, 2020 · 105 vehicles · Body, Doors and Seats

  • 2021 Chevrolet Trailblazer Label Recall (20V295)
    May 21, 2020 · 20 vehicles · Other Equipment

    The certification label on these vehicles does not provide the tire size and cold tire pressure information for front and rear tires, as required. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard Number 110, "Tire Selection and Rims."

    Risk: If drivers are uninformed and overinflate or underinflate their tires, this may increase the risk of a crash.

    Fix: GM will notify owners, and will mail corrected labels for customers to apply, free of charge.

How do I check my Trailblazer for open recalls?

Enter your 17-character VIN at NHTSA’s recall lookup. The lookup lists every open safety recall on that specific vehicle, so you will see which of the 5 Chevrolet Trailblazer campaigns above apply to you. You can also ask any authorized Chevrolet dealer to run the VIN. The VIN is on your registration card, your insurance card, and a plate at the lower driver-side corner of the windshield. Brand-new recalls can take a few days to show up, so check again if you received a letter.

Can a recall make your Trailblazer a lemon in California?

Owners of a Chevrolet Trailblazer often ask whether these recalls mean their vehicle qualifies under California's lemon law. Not by themselves. The question is whether a covered defect keeps coming back, or keeps the vehicle at the dealer, after a reasonable number of repair attempts (Civ. Code 1793.2(d)).

Most are single-repair campaigns, but repeat visits for any covered defect still count.

Within the first 18 months or 18,000 miles, California presumes the manufacturer had enough chances if the same defect was repaired two or more times when it is likely to cause death or serious injury, four or more times for any covered defect, or the vehicle was out of service more than 30 days in total (Civ. Code 1793.22(b)). Written notice to the manufacturer is required in some cases, and owners outside that window can still have a claim. An owner who prevails can recover reasonable attorney fees and costs from the manufacturer (Civ. Code 1794(d)). You pay nothing, win or lose. We are paid only if you win, and the manufacturer pays our fees, including in settlements. If a case is lost, our firm covers the costs.

What to keep: every repair order, the recall owner letters, your purchase or lease contract, and a log of dates, mileage and symptoms. Make sure every visit is written up, even when the dealer says it found nothing.
