What is wrong
Braun Corporation (Braun) is recalling certain 2026 Chevrolet Traverse vehicles. The fuel fill line may be missing a braze connection, allowing fuel to leak.
The risk
A fuel leak increases the risk of fire.
Why fuel system defects matter: Fuel leaks are a fire risk; an engine stall from fuel starvation is a crash risk, particularly at speed.
The remedy
Dealers will replace the fuel fill assembly, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed beginning August 3, 2026. Owners may contact Braun's customer service at 1-800-488-0359.
About the fuel system
Fuel system campaigns cover the tank, pump, lines, injectors, filler pipe and the fittings that keep fuel sealed in.

What to do
- Enter your VIN in NHTSA’s lookup (below) to confirm that your vehicle is included and that the repair has not already been done.
- Call a dealer for the brand and book the repair. Quote NHTSA campaign 26V-434.
- If you smell fuel or see a leak, do not drive the vehicle — park it outside, away from buildings, and call the dealer.
- Safety recall repairs are carried out free of charge by the manufacturer’s dealers. If you already paid for this repair yourself, ask the manufacturer about reimbursement and keep your receipt.
Check by VIN
A campaign rarely covers every vehicle of a model year. Enter your 17-character VIN to find the recall campaigns filed for your make, model and model year. The VIN is on the driver’s side of the dashboard (visible through the windshield), on the door-jamb label, and on your registration and insurance documents.
Is a recall still open on your vehicle? Only NHTSA’s official VIN check can say whether a campaign applies to your exact vehicle and whether the repair has already been done.
Your VIN is decoded with NHTSA’s public vPIC service to identify the make, model and year. It is not stored and is not added to any page address.
