This defect originated from a supplier in China and resulted in 83 Blazer EVs potentially being equipped with these substandard components.
Chevrolet dealers will inspect and replace the control arm free of charge. Chevrolet Blazer EV owners should be aware of a potential safety concern recently announced by the automaker.
The issue involves the right front lower control arm, a critical suspension component, which could fracture while driving.
