The check engine light illuminated on my 2024 Chevrolet Trax at 36,883 miles. An authorized Chevrolet dealer, Advantage Chevrolet of Bridgeview in Bridgeview, Illinois, diagnosed a failed evaporative emission canister purge pump and replaced it on August 6, 2026. I paid $729.46 out of pocket. I am filing this complaint because General Motors has already identified this exact part as defective and extended warranty coverage for it — but not for my model year. The part installed in my vehicle, shown on my invoice, is GM part number 25207556. That part number is listed by name in the Parts Information table of GM Special Coverage bulletin N242484740, which identifies four interchangeable evaporative emissions canister purge pumps: 12741165, 12741163, 25207556, and 12726033. That bulletin extends coverage on this component to 15 years or 150,000 miles for the 2022 Chevrolet Trax, 2022 Silverado 1500, 2022-2023 Blazer, and multiple Buick, Cadillac, and GMC models. A prior program covered 2020-2021 vehicles. My 2024 Trax failed with the same part number GM covers for fifteen years on the 2022 Trax. The failure occurred at 36,883 miles — five days after my 3-year bumper-to-bumper warranty expired on August 1, 2026, based on an in-service date of August 1, 2023. The failure illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp, which masks any other diagnostic trouble code that may set behind it, increases evaporative hydrocarbon emissions, and causes automatic failure of Illinois OBD-based emissions inspection. GM has now issued purge pump coverage extensions twice, for 2020-2021 and again for 2022-2023 vehicles. The same component is failing on 2024 vehicles at comparable mileage. I believe the defect extends to the 2024 and later model years and that coverage should be extended accordingly.

23V744000 · Electrical System: Instrument Cluster/panel

Nov 6, 2023

General Motors, LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2024 Buick Encore GX, Envista, and Chevrolet Trax vehicles. The software in the Virtual Cockpit Unit Module (VCU) may cause the instrument panel display to intermittently go blank at vehicle startup or while driving.

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: A blank instrument panel will not show critical information, such as vehicle speed and warning lights, increasing the risk of a crash.

Remedy: The VCU software will be updated by a dealer or through an over-the-air (OTA) update, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed December 4, 2023. Owners may contact Buick customer service at 1-800-521-7300 or Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020. GM's number for this recall is A232424320.
