General Motors has issued a service bulletin for the 2020 and 2021 model-year Chevy Trax, equipped with the Redline Edition package, over missing AWD tailgate badges.
The problem: vehicles involved in this service bulletin left the factory without an AWD nameplate affixed to the right-hand side of the tailgate.
The hazards: this problem does not pose a safety hazard or reliability risk, however some customers may find it preferable to have the AWD badge installed on the vehicle for cosmetic reasons.
The fix: dealers are instructed to install the AWD nameplate on the right-hand side of the tailgate.
Affected vehicles:
- 2020 Chevy Trax with Redline Edition package
- 2021 Chevy Trax with Redline Edition package
Affected components:
- AWD nameplate (missing)

GM’s service bulletin also indicates that only vehicles in dealership inventory are involved in this service update. The service update will expire on February 28th, 2022, after which point vehicles affected by this particular issue will not be repaired.

Badges!!! We don’t need no stinking BADGES!!!
If only all issues were this simple.
WHY??? I have a 2019 Redline Equinox and I like the simplicity of the badging on that trim level. On the Redline’s, Chevy leaves out the “LT” badge on the right side of the liftgate and it also leaves out the “2.0 T” badge that usually goes next to the “EQUINOX” badge…mine simply says “EQUINOX” on the back (not AWD model). If you have an AWD Premier, you can have up to 4 separate badges along the bottom of the liftgate (EQUINOX, 2.0T, AWD, and PREMIER) which is way too many for any car. Sometimes it seems like auto companies will add way too many badges like someone who got excited and bought a bunch of auto emblems in the automotive aisle at Walmart. Keep it simple.
Right u are my commodore which I bought New in 2018 does not have a badge VXR on the rear .When asked why not Holden replied was not on the series built in 2018 Strange huh cause on all the brochures it is.
I leased a brand new 2021 chevy trax lt about a year ago. Is this the same reason it didn’t have a lt badge on the lift gate or what
