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. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall became searchable on NHTSA.gov on September 24, 2026.

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.

Service brakes, hydraulic, power assist, vacuumSep 6, 2019
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2015-2017 Cadillac Escalade, 2014-2018 Chevrolet Silverado, GMC Sierra, 2015-2018 Chevrolet Suburban, Tahoe, GMC Yukon vehicles. The amount of vacuum created by the vacuum pump may decrease over time.
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. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-630-2438, Cadillac customer service at 1-800-458-8006 or GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782. GM's number for this recall is N192268490.

Child seat, tether, connector/clipAug 3, 2017
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, and GMC Sierra 1500 trucks. The owner's manual for the affected vehicles may be missing instructions on how to use the tether anchorage and child restraint anchorage systems. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 225, "Child Restraint Anchorage Systems."
If the instructions are missing from the owner's manual, the child seat may be installed incorrectly and not be properly secured, increasing the risk of injury in a crash.
GM will notify owners, and dealers will provide a corrected insert for the owners manual, free of charge. The recall began on September 25, 2017. Owners may contact GM customer service at 1-800-222-1020 (Chevrolet), or 1-800-462-8782 (GMC). GM's number for this recall is 17307.

General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2014-2016 Buick Lacrosse and Chevrolet Spark EV, Caprice PPV and SS vehicles, 2014-2017 Buick Encore and Chevrolet Corvette, Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 vehicles, 2015-2016 Cadillac Escalade and Escalade ESV, Chevrolet Tahoe, Trax, Suburban and Silverado 2500 and 3500 and GMC Yukon and Yukon XL vehicles, and 2015-2017 GMC Sierra HD 2500 and 3500 vehicles. 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. Without the update, certain driving conditions may cause the air bag sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) software to activate a diagnostic test. 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. Owners may contact Buick customer service at 1-800-521-7300, Cadillac customer service at 1-800-458-8006, Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020, or GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782.

THE TRANSMISSION ON MY 2017 HAS GONE OUT. I AM HAVING TO HAVE IT REPLACED AND MY TRUCK IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD. FROM WHAT I AM READ THIS HAS BEEN AN ON GOING ISSUE WITH THE 2017 CHEVROLET'S. I AM VERY DISSATISFIED WITH THE WHOLE SITUATION AND THE FACT THAT GM WILL DO NOTHING TO FIX THIS.
Power train, Dec 7, 2020
TRANSMISSION SHUTTER. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP TWICE AND REPLACED TRANSMISSION FLUID AND FILTER FIRST TIME. NO CHANGE. THE SECOND TIME COULD NOT FIND ANY CODES BUT WOULD NOT MAKE ANY CORRECTIONS.
Power train, Nov 20, 2020
PURCHASED MY VEHICLE JUST A FEW MONTHS AGO AND HAD ZERO ISSUES, OTHER THAN PESKY AFM BULL. WITHIN THE LAST MONTH, TRANSMISSION BEGAN SHUDDERING AND JERKING AS IF SLIPPING GEARS UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. SOON THEREAFTER, A WHINING NOISE STARTED THAT WAS MORE PREVALENT DURING GEAR CHANGE. SPOKE TO TECHNICIANS AT MY LOCAL GM DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND HE INFORMED ME THAT THIS IS AN EXTREMELY COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS YEAR MODEL AND TRANSMISSION. ACCORDING TO THIS SENIOR TECHNICIAN, THEY HAVE FOUND THAT A FLUID SWAP CAN CURE THESE ISSUES BECAUSE THE WHAT IS CALLED FOR FROM FACTORY JUST DOESN'T CUT THE MUSTARD. CHECKED THE SYSTEM, AND TO MY ASTONISHMENT, THERE ARE NO RECALLS OR SERVICE BULLETINS FOR THIS KNOWN ISSUE. TAKE MY TRUCK IN FOR SERVICES, HOPING ALL I WOULD NEED STILL IS THE FLUID SWAP, AND NOW THE TECHNICIANS ARE TELLING ME I NEED TO FORK OVER 5K FOR A NEW NEW TRANSMISSION BECAUSE MINE IS SHOT. EVEN MORE TO MY AMAZEMENT, I START LOOKING AROUND ON THIS SITE AND THERE HAVE BEEN A TON OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS SURROUNDING THIS YEAR MAKE AND MODEL TRANAMISSION, AND YET, GM HAS DONE NOTHING TO CORRECT OR PREVENT THESE PROBLEMS FROM PERSISTING.

I BEGAN EXPERIENCING THE PROBLEM I AM ABOUT TO EXPLAIN SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING MY TRUCK. I WOULD EXPERIENCE AN ABRUPT SHIFT FROM FIRST TO SECOND GEAR SHORTLY AFTER STARTING AND ON OCCASION IT WOULD ABRUPTLY SHIFT DOWN FROM SECOND TO FIRST, FEELING AS THOUGH I HAD BEEN REAR ENDED. I SCHEDULED MY FIRST ROUTINE SERVICE ON DECEMBER 16, 2017 AT 6217 MILES. THE SERVICE WRITER, AT THE SELLING DEALERSHIP, ADVISED ME THE COMPLAINT I WAS EXPERIENCING WAS "NORMAL", AS THE TRANSMISSION HAD "TO LEARN MY DRIVING HABITS" AND WOULD CLEAR BY MY NEXT ROUTINE SERVICE. MY NEXT ROUTINE SERVICE WAS NOVEMBER 29, 2018, AFTER HAVING ONLY DRIVEN 5,000 MILES AND I AGAIN COMPLAINED ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION ISSUE. THIS SERVICE WRITER ADVISED THE TRANSMISSION WAS STILL TOO NEW AND THAT IT'S NOT COMPLETED LEARNING MY DRIVING HABITS UNTIL AT LEAST 15,000 TO 20,000 MILES. I HAVE SINCE SEARCHED SEVERAL CHEVY TRUCK FORUMS (I.E. CARCOMPLAINTS.COM, GMTRUCKCLUB.COM, AND GM-TRUCK.COM) AND HAVE FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINANTS REGARDING THE SAME ISSUE EXPERIENCED BY OWNERS ACROSS THE STATES. EVERYONE COMPLAINS OF CHEVY NOT ABLE TO RECTIFY THE PROBLEM AND CITING "NORMAL" OPERATION. ON MAY 28, 2020 I WROTE TO CHEVROLET CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER. ON JUNE 26, 2020 I RECEIVED A RESPONSE FROM CHEVROLET IN A LETTER STATING THEY HAD BEEN UNABLE TO CONTACT ME AND IF THERE WAS NO FURTHER ISSUES THEY WOULD CLOSE THE CASE. I CALLED THE NUMBER IN THE LETTER AND SPOKE TO "[XXX]", REFUSING ANY FURTHER IDENTIFICATION, STATING HE WOULD TRY AND GET ME ANOTHER APPOINTMENT TO HAVE MY VEHICLE INSPECTED. I AM AWAITING A RESPONSE. JUST YESTERDAY, WHILE APPROACHING THE COMMUNITY SECURITY GATE AT MY HOUSING COMPLEX, THE TRANSMISSION ABRUPTLY SHIFTED FROM FIRST TO SECOND, LURCHING FORWARD, REQUIRING ME TO ABRUPTLY BRAKE TO AVOID CONTACT. THIS IS AN EXTREME SAFETY ISSUE THAT CHEVROLET IS REFUSING TO ADDRESS. PLEASE HELP!! INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IT HAS ALWAYS SHIFTED HARD AND SHUDDERED. I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS BECAUSE MY AUTO 4 WHEEL DRIVE WAS ON. IT CONTINUED TO HAVE ISSUES FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF YEARS AND EACH TIME I TOOK IT IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE THEY WOULD TELL ME THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. I TOOK IT IN AGAIN AND THEY SAID IT WAS BECAUSE THE HOOD LATCH NEEDED REPLACED. REPLACED THAT AND 2 DAYS LATER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AGAIN. TOOK IT BACK AND THEY COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHY IT WAS ON. 3 DAYS LATER, MY TRANSMISSION WENT OUT. HERE I AM, OUTSIDE OF MY WARRANTY AND NO WAY TO PAY THE 5,000 IT TAKES TO REPAIR MY TRANSMISSION. AS I AM READING ONLINE, IT SEEMS THAT THE ISSUES I WAS HAVING, GM WAS AWARE OF AND HASN'T MADE A FIX FOR THIS YET. GM REFUSES TO FIX MY TRANSMISSION WHEN THEY ARE AWARE OF ISSUES WITH THIS YEAR, MAKE, AND MODEL.

WHEN SHIFTING FROM P TO D VEHICLE REFUSES TO MOVE FORWARD EVEN AFTER LIGHTLY PRESSING THE ACCELERATOR THEN LETTING OFF THE GAS PEDAL THERE IS HESITATION WHILE ENGINE REVS BEFORE THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY & UNEXPECTEDLY LURCHES FORWARD. WHEN SLOWING DOWN OR STOPPING A LOUD CLUNK CAN BE HEARD AND FELT COMPARABLE TO BEING REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER DRIVER. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE SINCE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW. A CERTIFIED GM DEALERSHIP HAS INVESTIGATED MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS WITHOUT A RESOLUTION TO THIS SAFETY CONCERN. *TR

1ST TO 2ND GEAR SHIFTS ARE HESITANT AND ROUGH, SOMETIMES DANGEROUS CAUSING TRUCK TO JUMP FORWARD. USUALLY IN PARKING LOTS. IF STOPPED ON A DOWNHILL ; I TAKE FOOT OFF BRAKE THEN THE TRUCK WILL ROLL LIKE ALL CARS DO, AND THEN WHEN I STEP ON THE ACCELERATOR, THE TRUCK ENGINE WILL REV UP AS IF IN NEUTRAL THEN SLAM INTO GEAR CAUSING ME TO NEARLY REAR END THE CARS IN FRONT ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS

TRANSMISSION IS FAULTY, HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED SEVERAL TIMES, THEY FLUSHED THE TRANS 2 OR 3 TIMES THEN FINALLY REBUILT THE TRANSMISSION WITH AROUND 60,000 MILES. NOW I'M AT 70,000 MILES AND HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS AGAIN. IT SURGES BETWEEN GEARS, SOMETIMES FEELS LIKE I'VE BEEN REAR ENDED AND SOMETIMES SEEMS TO SKIP A GEAR AND BE IN NEUTRAL FOR A FEW SECONDS BEFORE CLUCKING INTO GEAR.

THE TRANSMISSION ON THIS TRUCK HAS NOT BEEN RIGHT FROM THE BEGINNING. WHEN STARTING IN THE MORNING IT WILL DO ONE OF THREE THINGS: SURGES AND TRANSMISSION SKIPS, HESITATE AND THEN RACE OR JUMP AHEAD, OR CHUNK AND THUNK LIKE IT REALLY DOESN'T WANT TO GO TO WORK AND SHIFTS HARD WHEN IT DOES. I KEEP ASKING WHEN GM WILL TAKE CARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND I KEEP GETTING THE RUN AROUND. I HAVE BROUGHT IT IN 3X, HAVE HAD DIAGNOSTICS RUN, TRANSMISSION FLUSHED AND OF COURSE IT HAS NOT HELPED. I AM NOW BRINGING IT BACK TO CHEVY DEALER AND NOW THEY SAY I HAVE TO DO THE NEXT STEP ACCORDING TO GM WHICH IS PUT IN A NEW TORQUE CONVERTER. I BOUGHT A BEAUTIFUL TRUCK THAT RUNS LIKE CRAP AND I AM VERY FRUSTRATED.

THE STEERING WHEEL VIBRATES AT AROUND 65 MPH. IT FEELS LIKE YOU ARE ROLLING OVER RUMBLE STRIPS. THE DEALERSHIP BALANCED THE TIRES, BUT THE VIBRATION CONTINUES. RESEARCHING THE ISSUE INDICATES IT MAY BE A PROBLEM WITH THE TORQUE CONVERTER.

TRANSMISSION IS CONSTANTLY JERKING AND HARD SHIFTING. IT ALSO LAGS WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE. TRIED TO GET IT LOOKED AT UNDER WARRANTY AND WAS TOLD "WELCOME TO THE FUTURE" BY THE DEALERSHIP. THEY WOULDN'T EVEN DRIVE OR LOOK AT IT. FEELS LIKE I'VE BEEN RIPPED OFF, WHY EVEN OFFER WARRANTIES?
