The flexible steel cable connecting the driver's seat belt to the outboard side of the seat may be repeatedly bent over the seat side shield as the driver enters and exits the vehicle causing the cable to fatigue and separate.

Service brakes, hydraulic, antilock/traction control/electronic limited slip, wheel speed sensor/tone ringOct 24, 2019
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2015-2020 Chevrolet Suburban, Tahoe, and GMC Yukon, and 2014-2018 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 vehicles equipped with a 5.3-liter engine, a 3.08-ratio rear axle and four-wheel drive. If a wheel-speed sensor fails, while the vehicle is traveling between 41 and 60 mph in four-wheel or automatic mode, the Electronic-Brake Control Module (EBCM) software may activate the driveline-protection system.
Unintended activation of the driveline-protection system will cause unintended braking on the wheel on the opposite side of the failed sensor, causing the vehicle to pull to one side unexpectedly, increasing the risk of a crash.
GM will notify owners, and dealers will reprogram the EBCM, free of charge. The recall began December 11, 2019. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-630-2438 or GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782. GM's number for this recall is N192261050.

While being previously remedied for recall 16V-651, the affected vehicles may not have received the complete software update necessary to remedy the recall condition.

During this test, deployment of the frontal air bags and the seat belt pretensioners would not occur in the event of a crash.
A failure of the front air bags or seat belt pretensioners to deploy in the event of a crash necessitating deployment increases the risk of injury to the driver and front passenger.
GM will notify owners, and dealers will reflash the SDM software. Vehicles that have had a previous air bag deployment will have the SDM replaced. These repairs will be performed free of charge. The recall began on August 4, 2017.

2016 Chevrolet Silverado High Country Crew Cab Standard Box A/C Condenser (GM Part Number 84802253) has cracked and failed at approximately 80,000 miles, resulting in (GM Part Number 12356150) refrigerant leaking to atmosphere. The affect component is very similar to the TSB 17336 from GM on like vehicles. There were no warnings or indicators that signaled that this component had failed. This component was inspected by a certified Manufacture dealer and found to be faulty, therefore, releasing harmful refrigerant into the atmosphere.

I TURNED ON THE REAR DEFROST TO THE VEHICLE. WITHIN ABOUT 30 SECONDS, I SAW SMOKE RISING FROM THE CENTER PART OF THE REAR WINDOW AS IF THE DEFROSTER HAD STARTED A FIRE. I IMMEDIATELY TURNED THE REAR DEFROST OFF AND THE SMOKE CEASED. WITHIN A MATER OF SECONDS, THE RIGHT PANEL OF THE REAR WINDOW POPPED VERY LOUDLY AS IT SHATTERED, PRESUMABLY FROM THE FIRE. I WAS DRIVING ON A RURAL ROAD WHEN THIS OCCURRED. I DO HAVE A POWER REAR WINDOW ON THE VEHICLE AND THERE IS A RECALL ALREADY IN CANADA FOR CHEVROLET SILVERADO'S OF MY MODEL YEAR WITH THE REAR POWER WINDOW HAVING FIRES STARTED BY THE REAR DEFROSTER.

A/C CONDENSER FAILURE: AS I LIVE IN A CLIMATE THAT EXPERIENCES SNOW AND BELOW-FREEZING TEMPERATURES MORE OFTEN THAN 80 DEGREE DAYS, I ONLY US MY AIR CONDITIONING MAYBE 5 MONTHS OF THE YEAR. I WENT TO USE MY A/C THIS SUMMER AND REALIZED IT WAS BLOWING WARM AIR. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND DECIDED TO JUST ADD MORE R-134A WITH DYE TO TROUBLESHOOT THE PROBLEM. I FOUND USING A UV FLASHLIGHT THAT THE A/C CONDENSER HAS A PRETTY LARGE CRACK IN IT IN THE SAME LOCATION AS ON THE CHEVY SUBURBAN'S AND TAHOE'S. IT IS VISIBLE THROUGH THE GRILL TOWARDS THE DRIVERS SIDE. AS THE QUOTE FOR THE JOB AT THE DEALERSHIP IS WELL OVER $500, I DECIDED TO JUST ROLL MY WINDOWS DOWN ALL SUMMER AND REPLACE THE A/C CONDENSER MYSELF OVER THE WINTER. I AM CURRENTLY GATHERING MY PARTS TO DO SO. APPARENTLY IT IS A 4-6 HOUR JOB, BUT ASIDE FROM PLOWING, SCHOOL, AND WORK, I SHOULD BE ABLE TO EVENTUALLY GET IT DONE. THIS IS FRUSTRATING THAT A (AT THE TIME) 4 YEAR-OLD VEHICLE HAS SO MANY DEFECTS THAT I WILL EVENTUALLY HAVE SUNK $5K+ INTO FOR UNCOMMON REPAIRS ON A 100K MILE, 4 YEAR-OLD TRUCK.
