Chevrolet Blazer Recalls (2019-2025)
The Chevrolet Blazer has been the subject of 9 recall campaigns on record with NHTSA across the 2019 to 2025 model years. They cluster mostly around the power train, latches/locks/linkages, and structure.
The Chevrolet Blazer scores 25 out of 100 (grade D), a busier recall record than most. That score reflects how serious the recalls are rather than how many. 89% involve a critical safety system, none carried a do-not-drive warning, and 44% were issued in the last three years. How the score works.
Those 9 campaigns span 7 model years of the Chevrolet Blazer. The single largest affected 194,105 vehicles, over power train. A recall repair is free at a franchised dealer and most never expire, so an older open recall is still worth fixing. Beyond recalls, you can also see the most common Blazer problems owners report and its crash-test safety ratings.
The full record is below, grouped first by model year and then listed in detail. Each entry gives the defect NHTSA describes, the safety risk it creates, the manufacturer's remedy, the number of vehicles in that campaign, and the dates. A recall covers a whole production run, so a campaign listed for the Chevrolet Blazer may not apply to your exact vehicle, and one you have already had repaired will still appear in the history. To see what is actually open and unfixed on a specific car, check its 17-digit VIN.
