Nearly 54,000 Alfa Romeo Guilias, Stelvios Recalled for Fuel Pumps

Alfa Romeo’s Giulia sedan and Stelvio SUV are the latest vehicles from Stellantis to be affected by a major recall. More than 53,800 examples of the vehicles are being recalled over an issue with the fuel pump.

Affected vehicles include model-year 2017-19 Guilias and 2018-19 Stelvios. The issue is with the fuel pump, which may fail and cause a loss of fuel flow, resulting in a loss of drive power. A loss of drive power increases the risk of a crash.

A remedy is currently under development. Interim letters notifying owners of the issue are expected to be mailed Oct. 29; a second letter will be sent out once the remedy is available. Those with further questions can contact the brand’s parent automaker Stellantis at 800-853-1403 (Stellantis’ number for this recall is 93C), the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s vehicle-safety hotline at 888-327-4236, or visit its website to check their vehicle identification number and learn more.

The 2026 Traverse starts at $42,695 (all prices include $1,895 destination fee).

What’s New?

Not much is new for the 2026 model, except for new Polar White and Sandstone Gray exterior colors. Redesigned for 2024 to look more like its truck-based siblings, the handsome third-generation Traverse saw some trim shuffling for the 2025 model year, with the discontinuation of the base LS trim level and the introduction of a luxurious High Country that sits at the top of the trim ladder of Chevy’s full-size SUVs and trucks.

Pricing and Release Date

The 2026 Chevrolet Traverse is on sale now; full pricing is below with model-year 2025 prices in parentheses.

• LT: $42,695 ($42,195)
• Z71: $50,795 ($49,295)
• High Country: $56,995 ($55,295)
• RS: $57,295 ($55,595)

Safety Features and Trim Levels

Chevy equips the 2026 Traverse with a comprehensive suite of driver-assist and safety systems. These include forward collision warning with pedestrian and bicyclist detection, automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, lane departure steering assist, blind spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert with automatic braking, forward cross-traffic alert and rear parking sensors. Also standard are a rear-seat reminder, a “Buckle to Drive” function that disables the vehicle from shifting out of Park into gear if the driver’s seat belt is unbuckled, and Teen Driver, which allows owners to set limits on functions such as speed and audio volume for certain inexperienced drivers. It also has GM’s Safety Alert Seat, which vibrates the driver’s seat bottom to warn of side hazards.

The base LT comes with 18-inch alloy wheels, LED headlights, a hands-free power liftgate, keyless entry and start, and remote start. Chevy fits it with cloth upholstery, a power-adjustable driver’s seat, tri-zone automatic climate control, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, wireless phone charging, six speakers and an 11-inch digital instrument cluster. The 17.7-inch touchscreen uses Google Built-In and includes wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity.

The Z71 comes standard with a twin-clutch all-wheel-drive system that vectors torque to the rear wheel with the most grip. It has hill descent control and rides about an inch higher than other Traverses on its 18-inch wheels with all-terrain tires. The Z71 sports the off-road look with black exterior trim, red tow hooks and rain-sensing windshield wipers. For shoppers interested in towing, the Z71 arrives with a factory-installed hitch, heavy-duty cooling system and alternator, and 5,000-pound towing capacity.

The premium High Country builds off the LT with heated second-row captain’s chairs to seat seven occupants total. It rolls on 22-inch wheels and has a 360-degree camera system and road-sign recognition. Chevy adds GM’s hands-free Super Cruise semi-autonomous highway driving system as standard; it’s available on other Traverse trims. The High Country elevates the interior with perforated leather upholstery, ventilated front seats, a power-adjustable front-passenger seat, ambient lighting and a 10-speaker Bose audio system.

The range-topping RS trim level bundles the High Country’s goodies but blacks out the exterior accents and 22-inch wheels to give it a sportier look.

Powertrain Specs and MPG

The Traverse uses a turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine making 328 horsepower and 326 pounds-feet of torque. An eight-speed automatic transmission routes power to the front wheels, while AWD is available for $2,000 across most of the lineup (AWD is standard on the off-road-adjacent Z71 grade).

Chevrolet says the 2026 Traverse gets the same EPA-rated 20/27/23 mpg city/highway/combined as the 2025 model; AWD versions drop to 19/24/21 mpg (official EPA estimates for the 2026 model are not yet available).

How Much Is the 2026 Chevrolet Trax?

By Robert Duffer

September 15, 2025

Share2026 Chevrolet Trax | Manufacturer image

The 2026 Chevrolet Trax small SUV carries over unchanged except for a price hike of $1,100. Even with the price hike, the entry-level Chevy makes for one of the most affordable new cars and still represents a great value. Chevy sticks with the winning formula, adding two new exterior colors but leaving the rest alone, for a starting price of $22,995 (all prices include a $1,395 destination fee).

What’s New?

Redesigned for 2024, the second-generation Trax outgrew its dated design with a sleek, almost wagon-like look without compromising interior space or the commanding view of the road favored by many SUV shoppers. Chevy stayed true to its intent as the most affordable vehicle in its lineup, and for 2026, the Trax can be had with a White Sands exterior coat on the top Activ and RS trims, while all but the Activ trim can be had in an Apex Red color.

Pricing and Release Date

The 2026 Chevrolet Trax is on sale now; model-year 2025 prices are in parenthesis.

• LS: $22,995 ($21,895)
• 1RS: $24,495 ($23,895)
• LT: $24,495 ($24,095)
• Activ: $26,695 ($25,895)
• 2RS: $26,695 ($25,895)

Safety Features and Trim Levels

Chevy equips the base LS with loads of standard safety and convenience features, amounting to a great value. It rides on 17-inch steel wheels and comes with keyless entry and an 8-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and Wi-Fi. The front seats are manually adjustable.

Chevy’s standard suite of driver-assist systems, dubbed Chevy Safety Assist, includes forward collision warning with pedestrian detection, automatic emergency braking, lane departure steering assist, a following distance indicator and automatic high beams. Also standard are a rear-seat reminder and Chevy’s Teen Driver feature that lets guardians or those who pay the bills limit functions such as speed and radio volume.

For $1,500 more, the 1RS adds more cosmetic upgrades such as black moldings around the windows, fenders and side mirrors, as well as a black grille insert. It rides on black 18-inch aluminum wheels and sports unique exterior trim. Added convenience features include heated front seats, a heated flat-bottom steering wheel and remote start.

The LT costs the same as the 1RS but includes more upgrades inside. It has 17-inch aluminum wheels, silver trim and upgraded LED daytime running lights. Inside, the LT upgrades to cloth upholstery with synthetic leather inserts, automatic climate control, an 8-inch instrument cluster display, an 11-inch touchscreen and six speakers.

The Activ and 2RS top the lineup and build off the LT and 1RS, respectively. The Activ wears different front- and rear-end styling and has distinct 18-inch black wheel designs. The interior has a power-adjustable driver’s seat, heated front seats covered in synthetic leather upholstery and a heated steering wheel.

The 2RS wears the black bow ties and other garnishes of the 1RS but rolls on black 19-inch wheels. It bundles most of the luxury and convenience features of the Activ.

Powertrain Specs and MPG

The Trax’s sole powertrain carries over for the 2026 model, and it only comes with front-wheel drive. A 137-horsepower, turbocharged 1.2-liter three-cylinder generates 162 pounds-feet of torque and is paired with a six-speed automatic transmission.

All-wheel drive is not an option, which helps keep the Trax on the efficient side of things. Chevy says the 2026 Trax has the same EPA rating of 28/32/30 mpg city/highway/combined as the 2025 model (official EPA estimates for the 2026 model are not yet available).
