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.
0
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.
0
Crash or fire reportedComplaints whose submitter recorded that a crash or a fire occurred. These are the reporter's own answers on the NHTSA form, not verified findings.

Fuel system
Filed Oct 17, 2026
1 injury reported

I am submitting this complaint regarding a serious fuel-system safety issue involving my new 2027 Chevrolet Traverse with approximately 50 miles on the odometer. While the vehicle was stopped, strong gasoline fumes entered the passenger compartment. Because of the potential fire and safety risk, the vehicle was not driven and was instead towed to an authorized Chevrolet dealership. AutoNation advised me that the gasoline leak was caused by **faulty installation of the fuel injectors**. I was informed that the fuel injectors had not been properly installed, resulting in the fuel leak. This condition is extremely concerning because gasoline and fuel vapors are highly flammable and can create a risk of fire if exposed to heat, electrical components, or another ignition source. The presence of gasoline fumes inside the passenger compartment also created a direct safety concern for the occupants. The defect occurred when the vehicle had only approximately 50 miles and was essentially brand new. I am concerned that this may represent a manufacturing or assembly issue that could potentially affect other 2027 Chevrolet Traverse vehicles. The vehicle is currently being addressed through an authorized Chevrolet dealership, and Chevrolet/General Motors has also been notified of the issue. I am requesting that NHTSA document and review this incident as a potential vehicle safety defect involving the fuel system and the installation of the fuel injectors.
