A 2018 Equinox owner, NHTSA complaint 11428176: "After being in a severe accident w/ another 2018 equinox I purchased a used 2018 equinox w/ 10k miles on it . saved my life 1x - i was happy with the car. In Dec 2019 my front passenger headlight went out. Still under warranty I had the dealer replace the bulb."

A 2020 Equinox owner, NHTSA complaint 11563502: "Premature headlamp (low beam) failure. The light abruptly failed and it was acknowledged by the manufacturer that this should not have occurred. The failure occurred in October of 2023. Light fixture has since been replaced. The low beam bulb is not accessible for replacement in our vehicle."

Recalls that cover the headlight assembly on the 2018–2024 Equinox

As of September 18, 2026, NHTSA lists no recall on the 2018–2024 Chevrolet Equinox whose defect is in the headlight assembly. If your car has a warning light or a symptom that a recall could explain, check the VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls anyway — it takes a minute.

Which headlight assembly a 2018–2024 Equinox takes

Headlights differ between halogen and LED trims, by adaptive or auto-levelling function, and by side. The 2018–2024 Chevrolet Equinox came with several powertrains, among them 1.5L I4 Automatic FWD and 2.0L I4 Automatic AWD. That is why we ask for the VIN, or the year, engine and trim, and confirm the part against it before you pay rather than after it arrives.
