2019 Chevrolet Blazer recalls

Recall 21V-115: Tires

Reported Feb 25, 2021 · 33,838 vehicles affected · General Motors, LLC

Problem: General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2020 Buick Enclave, Cadillac XT4, XT5, Escalade, Escalade ESV, Chevrolet Suburban, Tahoe, Traverse, GMC Yukon, Yukon XL, 2018-2021 Chevrolet Express, GMC Savana, 2019-2020 Chevrolet Blazer, Silverado 1500, GMC Acadia, Sierra 1500, and certain Continental tires sold to the aftermarket for various model year 2018-2021 vehicles. The affected tires were cured for too long during production.

Risk: Over cured tires may develop a break in the sidewall resulting in sudden air loss or a belt edge separation which could lead to a tread/belt loss. Either condition can cause a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.

Fix: GM will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the tires, replacing them as necessary, free of charge. The recall began March 22, 2021. Owners may contact GMC customer service at 1-888-988-7267, Buick customer service at 1-866-608-8080, Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020 or Cadillac customer service at 1-800-458-8006.

Fix: GM will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the start-stop transmission accumulator and replace it if any bolts are missing, free of charge. The recall began December 15, 2020.

Service Brakes · reported Nov 8, 2026
Several times now my Automatic Emergency Braking has kicked in, my car jerked me so hard that I just missed hitting my face on the steering wheel. This is the scariest thing in that moment, and it has happened when I have so much distance from the other cars so it’s very unexpected when it kicks in. Not to mention it makes like a grinding sound each time it happens. Again, this has happened several times before this last time. This is something that can easily turn in to a safety problem, not only does it make the car slide a little during this period—- but it also scares the person…
Steering · reported Nov 2, 2026
Steering assist reduced message appeared Check engine light appeared, po128 code, thermostat and sensor defect. Common problem with these vehicles, GM has only recalled 2021 model even though the same engine and thermostat are on all V-6 models. Contacted GM, no assistance available on my year Blazer.
Electrical System · reported Oct 17, 2026
Shift to park displays on dash when put in park after I turn the car off. Have to turn the car back on shift from park to drive several times before it finally goes off. Something going on with backup camera when backing up it not always comes up on interior display monitor. The outlet in the console dc outlet not working had it looked at several times the mechanics can't figure out what the issue is all fuses are good And a few times couldn't stat the car after shift to park display pops up had to try several times before it started. Can't understand why GM hasn't ordered recalls on these…
Steering · reported Oct 16, 2026
Electronically controlled thermostat and sensor fail or get stuck at a much lower coolant temperature causing the dash to display the “steering assist is reduced drive with care.” It isn’t just a message, the steering is much harder to use potentially causing an accident. The ac completely doesn’t work causing potential for sensitive, elderly, or young children and pets to overheat inside, it’s significant risk of injury or death from the hot summer temperatures. The engine coolant temperature gauge is all the way down on C position which isn’t registering how hot/cold the engine…
Structure · reported Oct 12, 2026
Driver's side floorboard floods during rain, dripping water under the dashboard directly onto the accelerator and brake pedal. Trapping water and trapped moisture has caused severe mold buildup throughout the interior, creating respiratory hazards and window fogging. This matches GM Technical Service Bulletin 23-NA-087.
