No recalls have been issued for the timing chains in the 2011 Chevy Equinox, but there have been concerns that they may wear out prematurely. General Motors has acknowledged this issue and extended the chain warranty to 10 years or 200,000 miles to address it. While not deemed severe enough for a complete recall, the warranty extension can prove beneficial should any chain problems arise, as repairs can be pricey and impact the vehicle's performance until fixed.
