The transmission control valve may fail and lock up the rear wheels.
- What it can cause

Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .
How this campaign compares
At 43,743 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 88% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2022, so the oldest vehicles on it were 4 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Chevrolet vehicles have been recalled over the power train 48 times before this, most recently in February 2026 as 26V083000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 6 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 759 complaints with NHTSA, 523 of them before this campaign was filed. 145 of those name the power train, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in November 2021, 4 years before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 4 other recalls published here: 25V619000 (fuel system, diesel), 25V274000 (engine and engine cooling), 22V903000 (exterior lighting), 22V617000 (seat belts).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by General Motors, LLC with NHTSA on February 13, 2026 as campaign 26V085000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
