Rear-visibility system issue
BACK OVER PREVENTION: SENSING SYSTEM: CAMERA
General Motors, LLC is recalling certain 2024-2025 Buick Envista, 2024-2026 Buick Encore GX, Chevrolet Trailblazer, and 2025 Chevrolet Trax vehicles. The rearview camera screen may display a distorted or blank image.
Consequence
A rearview image that does not display correctly reduces the driver's view behind the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.

Another letter will be mailed once the parts are available. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020 or Buick customer service at 1-800-521-7300.

What the ratings mean
NHTSA published frontal crash and rollover resistance for this vehicle but not side crash and side pole. An untested area is not a poor result — it means no published data exists, and the overall star rating is calculated without it.
NHTSA's dynamic test put this vehicle's rollover probability at 15.5% in a single-vehicle crash — the figure behind the rollover star rating, published here because the star alone hides how wide each band is.

How this compares
At 30 MPG combined, the 2025 Chevrolet Trax ranks 1st of 4 small station wagons EPA rated for 2025 — exactly the 30 MPG median for that group.
That places it among the thirstiest vehicles in its class. If annual mileage is high, the running-cost gap against a class-average rival compounds quickly.
EPA puts annual fuel spend at about $2,250, $100 more than the $2,150 typical for the class. Over five years at 15,000 miles a year that is roughly $11,250, a $500 difference against a class-median vehicle.
Tailpipe CO₂ is 296 grams per mile — about 4.4 metric tons over 15,000 miles of driving.
