Air bags, side/window, curtain, inflatorSep 24, 2026
General Motors, LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 2500/3500, GMC Sierra 2500/3500 vehicles, and 2016-2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 vehicles. The left-side or right-side roof rail air bag (RRAB) inflator end cap may detach from the inflator or the inflator sidewall may rupture.
A detached end cap or inflator rupture can allow compressed gas to escape and project the end cap or fragments of the inflator into the vehicle, increasing the risk of injury.
Dealers will replace both RRAB modules, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed November 9, 2026. Owners may contact GMC customer service at 1-888-988-7267 or Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020. GM's number for this recall is N262569920.

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.

As the vacuum level drops, the brake assist decreases, increasing braking effort, extending the distance required to stop the vehicle, thereby increasing the risk of a crash.
GM will notify owners, and dealers will reprogram the Electronic Brake Control Module, free of charge. The recall began October 8, 2019.

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.

Steering, Electrical system, Nov 20, 2020
TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS WITH NO WARNING WHEN THE VEHICLE'S STEERING WHEEL WAS TURNED TO THE LEFT, WHILE IN MOTION, WOULD STOP DURING THE TURN AND JERK BACK THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION AND POWER TO THE VEHICLE WOULD BE LOST FOR A SECOND THEN HAVE POWER RESTORED. THE FIRST TIME I WAS BACKING UP AND HAD TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL LEFT TO AVOID HITTING AN OBJECT, AT THIS POINT THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND JERKED BACK IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION AND THE HEADLIGHTS FLICKERED, RADIO SCREEN WENT BLANK, AND THE CLIMATE CONTROL LIGHTS WENT OUT BUT ALL POWER CAME BACK ON AFTER A SECOND. THE VEHICLE DID THE SAME SIX TIMES WHILE TRYING TO BACK UP. I HAVE A VIDEO AFTER I BACKED UP AND PARKED AND THE ISSUE REPEATED ITSELF SO I COULD GET A VIDEO TO SHOW FOR A REPAIR. THE SECOND OCCASION WAS WHEN I WAS ON A 25 MPH TWO LANE ROAD. I WAS TURNING LEFT ONTO ANOTHER ROAD AND AFTER COMING TO A STOP TO LET A CAR GO BY I HIT THE ACCELERATOR TO GET THE VEHICLE TO MOVE AND THE ISSUE HAPPENED AGAIN BUT THIS TIME THE ENGINE CUT OUT, DOOR LOCKS CYCLED, AND LOST ALL POWER TO THE VEHICLE. WHEN I LOST POWER MY VEHICLE WAS HALF WAY INTO THE ON-COMING LANE OF THE ROAD I WAS TURNING OFF OF. VEHICLE IS AT THE DEALER NOW AT AN ATTEMPT TO FIX THE ISSUE, THE DEALERSHIP HAS SEEN THE VIDEO I HAVE AND THE MECHANIC COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM BUT FOUND ISSUES WITH THE ELECTRIC STEERING WHILE DOING TEST DRIVES. AS OF NOW I'M NOT AWARE OF THE ISSUES THAT WERE FOUND. MECHANIC TOLD SERVICE SUPERVISOR THAT THE ELECTRIC STEERING NEEDED TO BE UPDATED IN THE COMPUTER TO SMOOTH OUT THE ISSUES. SINCE THE ORIGINAL ISSUE COULD NOT BE REPLICATED, NOT SURE IF THIS WILL BE THE FIX. IF VIDEO EVIDENCE IS NEEDED PLEASE EMAIL ME AND I WILL SEND VIDEO.

MY 2017 SILVERADO HAD A RECALL FOR THE REAR DEFROSTER. THE RECALL REPAIR WAS PERFORMED 6 MONTHS AGO. OVER THIS PAST WEEKEND, AN ELECTRICAL FIRE SMELL APPEARED IN THE VEHICLE, AND SHORTLY THEREAFTER, THE REAR SLIDING WINDOW BEGAN TO SMOKE FROM BEHIND A PLASTIC PART. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED THE TRUCK OVER AND SHUT DOWN THE ENGINE AND EVACUATED MY FAMILY. THE SMOKE STOPPED AND I REMOVED THE FUSE AND RELAYS FOR REAR DEFROST TO PREVENT FUTURE FIRE. CLEARLY THE RECALL REPAIR DID NOT ACCOMPLISH FIXING THE SAFETY ISSUE.
Electrical system, Sep 13, 2020
THIS MORNING I WAS DRIVING TO WORK WITH THE HEAT ON FULL, HEATED SEATS ON, AND THE REAR DEFROST. I SMELT SMOKE COMING FROM SOMEWHERE IN THE CAR. I LOOKED IN MY BACK SEAT TO SEE SMOKE COMING FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY REAR WINDOW. I DID NOT OPERATE MY REAR POWER WINDOW AT ANY POINT TODAY. I STOPPED AND LOOKED CLOSER TO SEE SOMETHING ELECTRICAL MELTING BEHIND THE REAR PASSENGER HEAD REST (SEE PICTURE). SUDDENLY THERE WAS A LOUD POP, IT WAS THE REAR WINDOW BREAKING. THE WHOLE THING DID NOT BREAK, JUST THE 1/3 ON THE DRIVER SIDE. I BELIEVE THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE I USED THE REAR DEFROST. I'M VERY HAPPY NOTHING CAUGHT ON FIRE AND MY BACK SEAT WAS EMPTY. WHEN I DROVE HOME THERE WERE NO PROBLEMS, THE REAR DEFROST WAS OFF BUT NOW I HAVE A SHATTERED. I DID NOT HAVE ANYTHING IN MY TRUCK BED THAT COULD HAVE BROKEN THE WINDOW, I BELIEVE THE HEAT FROM THE ELECTRICAL ISSUE CAUSED IT TO SHATTER. I HAVE SEEN THAT CANADA HAS RECALLED THIS TRUCK FOR THIS ISSUE. I DON'T KNOW WHO IS RESPONSIBLE AND WHO IS GOING TO FIX THIS PROBLEM.

I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE AND THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT TEMPORARILY AT AN INTERSECTION WHEN ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN. THE ISSUE WENT AWAY BUT THEN A MONTH LATER THE SAME ISSUE HAPPENED AGAIN WHEN TURNING RIGHT INTO A DRIVEWAY EXCEPT THIS TIME THE TRUCK COMPLETELY STALLED AND WENT POWERLESS. THE TRUCK WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO GURANTEE A FIX BUT STATED THEY DISCONNECTED AND CLEANED A FEW GROUNDS BEFORE REATTACHING THEM. GM CUSTOMER SERVICE DECLINED TO ASSIST AT ALL WITH COVERING THE SHOP CHARGES. THE TRUCK THAT IS 3 YEARS OLD AND HAS LESS THAN 30K MILES.

THE MYLINK RADIO SYSTEM IN MY 2017 SILVERRADO HAS DEVELOPED A MNID OF ITS OWN. IT DOESN'T MATTER IF THE TRUCK IS SITTING STILL OR MOVING. TURN RADIO ON AND IN JUST A FEW SECONDS THE RADIO STARTS THE BROWSE FUNCTION. IT STARTS SCROLLING ALL THE STATIONS AND ON MY LITTLE SCREEN ABOVE MY STEERING WHEEL GOES TO AUDIO FUNCTION DISABLING MY SPEED READOUT. ALSO EFFECTS THE NAVIGATION SCREEN WHERE THE MAP JUMPS ALL OVER THE PLACE AND DISPLAYS LOCATIONS OFF AND ON. ON THE HOME SCREEN THE APPS JUST KEEP SCROLLING BY NEVER STOPPING. IT IS LIKE THE SYSTEM HAS A GHOST IN IT. IT IS VERY DISTRACTING WHILE DRIVING AS THE SCREEN KEEPS CHANGING. NOW I AM LEAVING THE RADIO OFF. CAN NOT USE MY NAVIGATION WHICH I PAY FOR EVERY YEAR, ALSO SOMETIMES THE TOUCH SCREEN WILL NOT RESPOND. MY TRUCK HAS 50,800 MILES ON IT. I PURCHASED THE TRUCK ON OCTOBER 31 2017. I HAVE RESEARCHED ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS QUITE FREQUENTLY WITH THE MYLINK RADIO SYSTEM IN OTHER CHEVY PRODUCTS. ALSO DISCOVERED THAT THE APPROX. COST TO REPLACE OR FIX IS APPROX. 1000.00. I FIRST NOTICED THIS PROBLEM APPRX 2.5 MONTHS A ND HAS STEADLIY GOTTEN WORSE. AM AFRAID THE THE HMI MODULE MAY GO OUT AND RENDER MY TRUCK USELESS

IT HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY.. AS I SLOW UP TO A SPEED UNDER 10 MILES AN HOUR, AS SOON AS I TURN THE STEERING WHEEL, THE VEHICLE WILL LOSE POWER, EITHER TURNING OFF AND ON FAST THE DASH WILL LOSE POWER BUT THE MOTOR WILL STILL BE RUNNING... SHERRY THIS HAPPENS, THE STEERING FEELS LIKE THERES RESISTANCE TURNING AND THE ONLY WAY TO FIX IT IS TO TURN OFF THE VEHICLE AND LET IT SIT. OTHER TIMES IT WILL HAPPEN AND THE VEHICLE WILL LOSE TOTAL POWER,ALMOST LIKE I REMOVED THE KEY BUT THE VEHICLE WILL STILL BE ROLLING. THE STEERING WHEEL HAS LOCKED TWICE ALL WHILE THE VEHICLE IS STILL IN MOTION AS WELL AND BRAKES ARE NON FUNCTIONING. ITS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES GOING THROUGH INTERSECTIONS, PULLING INTO MY DRIVEWAY, AND U TURNS. IT NEVER HAPPENS IN REVERSE. ILL NEVER OWN A CHEVY AGAIN...

THE AMBIENT TEMPERATURE SENSOR DOESN'T WORK. IT DOES NOT READ THE CORRECT TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE. THIS IMPACTS THE A/C, WHICH DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY WHEN THE SENSOR IS NOT READING THE CORRECT EXTERNAL TEMPERATURE. THE FAIRFIELD CHEVROLET SERVICE DEPARTMENT REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE ISSUE, LET ALONE FIX OR REPLACE THE SENSOR. I USE MY TRUCK ON RANCHES AND LOGGING PROPERTIES WHERE IT IS LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME TO DRIVE OVER 20MPH FOR 5 MINUTES. AND WHEN IT IS 105 DEGREES AND THE A/C THINKS IT IS ONLY 65 OUTSIDE, THE A/C DOES NOT ENGAGE. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT KEEPS TELLING ME THAT THEY CANNOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM SO IT MUST NOT BE REAL. THIS IS THE EQUIVALENT OF CALLING ME A LIAR IN ORDER TO AVOID HONORING THE WARRANTY.

WHEN RETURNING TO THE VEHICLE 10 MINUTES AFTER PARKING IT, THE VEHICLE STARTER WAS ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE DESPITE NO REMOTE START OR ONSTAR APP BEING ACTIVATED TO START THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ATTEMPT TO CRANK AND START, EVEN AFTER I UNLOCKED THE VEHICLE WITH MY KEY FOB, INSERTED THE KEY INTO THE IGNITION, AND ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE AND TURN OFF THE KEY. THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ATTEMPT TO CRANK AND START AND I SMELLED A STRONG ELECTRICAL BURNING SMELL. I THEN SAW BLUE/GREYISH SMOKE COMING FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE WHERE THE HOOD MEETS THE WINDSHIELD. I THEN GATHERED MY BELONGINGS FROM THE TRUCK AND WATCHED FROM A SAFE DISTANCE. AFTER THE SMOKE, THE TRUCK NO LONGER ATTEMPTED TO CRANK OR START ITSELF AND THE SMOKE WAS GONE WITHIN 5 MINUTES, ALTHOUGH THERE WERE SMALL INSTANCES OF SMOKE OVER THE NEXT 15 MINUTES. THE TRUCK WAS PUT ON A FLATBED TOW TRUCK FOR FURTHER DIAGNOSIS AT THE LOCAL CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP. INITIAL DIAGNOSIS INDICATED THAT THE "STARTER HAD CONSUMED ITSELF" AND WAS THE CAUSE OF THE SMOKE I SAW, BUT NO FURTHER INFORMATION WAS AVAILABLE. IT WAS QUITE SCARY TO HAVE A TRUCK ATTEMPT TO START ITSELF WITH A SMALL ELECTRICAL SHORT/FIRE AS A RESULT WITHOUT A KEY BEING NEEDED.
