GM has issued a service update for the 2024 Chevy Blazer crossover for certain units that may be affected by a cracked front brake caliper anchor bracket, with a fix now available for any vehicles subject to this issue.
The 2024 Chevy Blazer units involved in Service Update number N242448390 will have the fix available until the end of their individual New Vehicle Limited Warranty period, according to The General.
Dealerships are instructed by General Motors to check the status of potentially affected 2024 Chevy Blazer units in the GM Global Warranty Management system, with affected crossovers marked “Open” on their Investigate Vehicle History screen. The exact effects of the potential crack in the front brake caliper anchor bracket are not indicated, but could presumably affect brake function at some future point.
Dealer service personnel are instructed to replace both the left-hand and right-hand front brake caliper anchor brackets in the affected Blazer crossovers. No other component is to be replaced. The number of affected vehicles is unclear, but most of them are likely to be either currently in dealer inventory or in transit to a dealership.
Meanwhile, the 2025 Chevy Blazer is set to debut with only a handful of updates and changes from the 2024 model year. One notable update is that the 2025 Blazer will offer full availability of the rear park assist (RPO code UD7) feature, without the constraint on the technology that has been partially affecting the vehicle since 2022. Additionally, three paint colors have been dropped and one indirect replacement added for 2025.
Pricing for the 2025 Chevy Blazer, as uncovered by GM Authority, is unchanged from the 2024 model. Four trim levels are available, including the 2LT, 3LT, RS and Premier trims. Starting MSRP ranges from $36,795 for the front-wheel drive entry-level 2LT trim to $47,095 for both the RS and Premier trims with all-wheel drive.
As a reminder, the 2024 Chevy Blazer and its 2025 successor are motivated by a pair of available powerplants. These include the turbocharged 2.0L I4 LSY gasoline engine developing 228 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque and the naturally aspirated 3.6L V6 LGX gasoline engine cranking out 308 horsepower and 270 pound-feet of torque. Both are paired with the GM nine-speed automatic transmission, while FWD is standard and AWD is optional.
Production of the 2025 Blazer kicked off on July 10th, 2024 and continues to take place at the GM Ramos Arizpe plant in Mexico.

For the past several years, I placed GM on a recall pedestal above Ford for having far fewer recalls. Lately, it seems they’re both in a race and I’m not pleased. Tank that stock again!
