How this campaign compares
At 5,861 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 76% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2025 to 2027, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Chevrolet vehicles have been recalled over the equipment 31 times before this, most recently in November 2025 as 25V815000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for 23 of the 40 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 694 complaints with NHTSA, 220 of them before this campaign was filed. 3 of those name the equipment, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in October 2024, 1 year before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 19 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V496000 (wheels), 26V494000 (electrical system), 26V394000 (seats), 26V304000 (wheels).
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 26, 2026 as campaign 26V114000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
