Recalls, owner-reported complaints, investigations and safety data

Data refreshed

Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

Safety recallsA safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.

InvestigationsNHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.

GM has a bulletin to replace 02 sensor as customers bring in vehicles with complaints only. It covers 2023-2025 Chevy equinox. I have a 2022 equinox with only 15,000 miles and the sensor failed costing me $750. This should be covered under the same bulletin

Hello, I am writing regarding the fuel pump power control module failure in my 2022 Chevrolet Equinox LT. On Thursday, XXX, my husband and I were left stranded at the intersection of [XXX]. While we were sitting at the intersection, my Equinox began to hesitate and then stopped completely. Although we could restart the vehicle, it would immediately shut off again. We had our emergency flashers on, but vehicles behind us continued honking whenever the light turned green. Being stranded in the middle of a busy highway was both humiliating and frightening. VIN: [XXX] After waiting approximately 1½ hours, a tow truck arrived and towed our vehicle to [XXX]. I was subsequently required to pay for both a new fuel pump control module and a new fuel pump. The total cost was $1,237.34. I understand that General Motors issued Safety Recall N222372310 / NHTSA Recall 23V013000 involving certain 2021–2022 Chevrolet Equinox vehicles due to a fuel pump module that may not consistently supply sufficient fuel, potentially causing the engine to stall. I contacted two Chevrolet dealerships—one in [XXX] and one in [XXX]—and was told by both that this recall does not apply to my vehicle. I want to understand how the affected vehicles are determined and why my Equinox is not included, particularly given that my vehicle experienced a fuel-related failure that resulted in the vehicle stalling while I was idling. My vehicle had only 44,000 miles when this failure occurred. I do not believe a fuel pump module should fail at this mileage, particularly when the failure created a significant safety hazard and left my husband and me stranded in an active roadway. I am requesting that NHTSA review my vehicle's VIN, the circumstances surrounding this failure, and the repair records and reimburse me for the $1,237.34 I was required to pay. I look forward to your response and a satisfactory resolution. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

Emission Recall. General Motors has decided to conduct a Voluntary Emission Recall. Certain vehicles listed above may have a condition which can cause the fuel pump power control module to fail. If this were to occur, fuel flow to the engine could be interrupted. Dealers will replace the fuel pump power control module.

Manufacturers file copies of the bulletins they send to dealers with NHTSA. These often describe diagnostic or repair procedures for a known condition. They are not recalls: repairs described in a bulletin are usually only free if the vehicle is still under warranty or the manufacturer has extended coverage.
