2023 Chevrolet Equinox recalls
Child seat anchors may not fit properly
Injury riskExcess paint on the rear seat LATCH anchor bars can keep a child seat from attaching to them, so the seat may not be secured in a crash. This is a child safety problem and the vehicles do not meet federal child seat anchorage standards.
Fix: Until the repair is done, install child seats with the rear seat belts; the dealer will inspect the anchor bars and refinish them as needed at no cost to you.
Recall 23V339000 · May 2023Passenger airbag may not turn off for children
Injury riskThe occupant sensor may fail to switch off the front passenger airbag when a small child or child seat is in that seat. In a crash, the airbag could deploy and injure the child.

Recall 22V929000 · Dec 2022Driver seat bolt may be loose or stripped
