2025 Chevrolet Equinox EV door strikers recalled for possible breakage

General Motors is recalling 2025 Chevrolet Equinox EV vehicles (along with Blazer and Blazer EV models) because door strikers may not be properly heat-treated and could break, causing doors to open unexpectedly. All affected vehicles remain in dealerships.

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The source identifies a confirmed structural defect affecting a critical vehicle safety system (door latches), creating a risk of unintended door opening and potential injury. No injuries or illnesses are reported in the source. Per the rubric, risk-of-harm products without reported injury are classified as High (3).

Plain-English summary

General Motors is recalling the 2025 Chevrolet Equinox EV due to defective door strikers; the same recall affects 2025 Chevrolet Blazer and Blazer EV models. Approximately 731 vehicles are affected by this recall. The door strikers were not properly heat-treated during manufacturing, which can cause them to break.

When a door striker breaks, the door may open unexpectedly, increasing the risk of injury.

Because all affected vehicles are still in dealership inventory, GM does not expect to mail owner notification letters. Owners should contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020 to arrange for free repairs, which consist of replacing all four side door strikers and attachment bolts. For more information, owners may contact NHTSA's Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or visit nhtsa.gov.
