Update: 2023 Chevy Trailblazer Recalled for Incorrect Catalytic Converter
GM is recalling certain units of the 2023 Chevy Trailblazer that were equipped with an incorrect catalytic converter during production. In affected models, the catalytic converter will not properly process exhaust gases and therefore will fail to meet all emission system requirements.
This recall affects Chevy Trailblazer SUVs equipped with the turbocharged 1.2L I3 LIH gasoline engine, as well as certain units of the 2023 Buick Encore GX.
This recall began in March 2023.

What's the Problem?
According to the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), this recall affects:
- 2021 Chevrolet Trailblazer
- 2020 Buick Encore GX
The rear attachment bolts of one or both front seats of affected vehicles may not have been installed, NHTSA said. If an occupied front seat is missing the rear attachment bolts, it may move during a crash, increasing risk of injury to the occupant.
GM is notifying owners and dealers will inspect seat attachments for both front seats and install attachment bolts as needed, free of charge.
This recall began on October 1, 2020.
