In the event of a fire, if the fire extinguisher does not function properly, it can increase the risk of injury.
6 safety recall campaigns, 18 owner complaints filed with NHTSA.
Complaints are reports from owners of this model year, not findings about any particular vehicle, and a model that sold in large numbers will collect more of them. They are counted here as filed; nothing is inferred from them.
In the event of a fire, if the fire extinguisher does not function properly, it can increase the risk of injury.
A natural gas leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire or explosion.
In the event of a crash below the air bag deployment threshold, an unbelted front passenger seat occupant has an increased risk of injury.
A short at the connector may cause overheating, resulting in an increased risk of fire.
IF THIS CONDITION OCCURS, A LOSS OF STEERING COULD RESULT, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
AN IMPROPERLY DEPLOYED AIR BAG WILL INCREASE THE RISK OF INJURY TO THE OCCUPANT.
Two 2012 CHEVROLET EXPRESSs can have entirely different histories, and a recall campaign usually covers a build-date window rather than a whole model year — which a VIN does not encode, so only the door-jamb label settles it. Scanning the VIN adds the decode, the crash tests, the fuel economy and the complaints matched to that exact engine, trim and assembly plant.
