Chevrolet Blazer: Owner Complaints and Recalls by Model Year
This is the Chevrolet Blazer complaint and recall record by model year (1991–2025). 7,830 owner reports are on file across 19 years. 1995 has the highest count (1,215) — often because that year has had longer to collect reports, not because this page ranked it. Open a year to see what owners named, the recall list, and the filings themselves.
Chevrolet Blazer filings that NHTSA splits across body-style names are combined here. Related weight classes stay separate.
Across these years, owners named Brakes more often than any other part of the truck. Unclassified leftovers from NHTSA are not a diagnosis.
In plain English
Across 19 years of the Chevrolet Blazer, owners named Brakes more often than any other system. That is a pattern in the file, not a diagnosis of the vehicle in the driveway.
1995 has the most reports (1,215). Older years collect more filings just by being around longer. Open the year you are actually buying — not the peak year unless that is the one in the listing.
