For the second time this year, Chevrolet has recalled a number of its subcompact SUV Trax models to replace faulty front control arm assemblies.
For the second time in six months, Chevrolet’s subcompact SUV, the Trax, has been recalled for suspension issues that could lead to crashes. So far, Chevrolet has recalled nearly 300,000 of the unique-looking SUVs.
Front Suspenions Are Suspect
At issue is the Trax front suspension. The rather jaunty-looking Chevy subcompact SUV looks as if it should be a nimble-handling vehicle. With a relatively short wheelbase, the Korean-made subcompact SUV seems as if it should be able to handle most roads well, but, according to various reviews, the Trax looks rather primitive as compared to its corporate cousin, the Buick Encore.
