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.

Service brakes, Apr 25, 2021
IT IS VERY HARD TO STOP THE TRUCK AT LOW SPEEDS (1-5MPH). THE BRAKE PEDAL IS VERY HARD TO PUSH AND DOES NOT STOP THE VEHICLE WITHOUT CONSIDERABLE PRESSURE BEING APPLIED. IT HAS HAPPENED TWICE WITHIN THE PAST WEEK WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PARK. THANKFULLY, WE WERE IN A PARKING LOT, BUT IT COULD CAUSE A SIGNIFICANT ISSUE WHILE APPROACHING A STOPLIGHT OR OTHER TRAFFIC SITUATION. AFTER READING, IT APPEARS THAT GM HAS KNOWN ABOUT THE ISSUE FOR SOME TIME, BUT I DON'T SEE A RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH THE VEHICLE. I HAVE OWNED IT SINCE NEW.
Service brakes, Apr 1, 2021
POOR BRAKING AT LOW SPEED. I HAVE ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL MODULE CODES.
Service brakes, Mar 23, 2021
WHILE PARKING, AT LOW SPEEDS, MY BRAKE PEDAL TURNED STIFF AND I HAD TO USE BOTH FEET TO PUSH IT. THIS ONLY HAPPENS WHILE I'M AT A LOW SPEED AND CAN BE MADE TO HAPPEN EVERY TIME. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING OFF AND ON FOR A GOOD WHILE. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO MY LOCAL DEALER FOR A RECALL, WHICH I DON'T PERSONALLY THINK THEY DID. I THOUGHT THE RECALL WAS TO FIX THIS LOW SPEED ISSUE THAT IS KNOWN ON THIS PARTICULAR MODEL OF THE 2017 SILVERADO'S. IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE IN MY OPINION BECAUSE THIS HAPPENS AT ANY SITUATION OF LOW SPEEDS. I TOW A BOAT AND IT DOES IT WHILE I'M BACKING MY BOAT INTO THE WATER. AM I NOT SUPPOSED TO USE MY BOAT BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE? IS IT MY FAULT THAT GM DECIDED TO USE SUBPAR PARTS TO SAVE MONEY? THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE A SAFETY RECALL AND PAID FOR BY THE MANUFACTURER. THEY ARE RECOMMENDING YOU CHANGE ABOUT 5 DIFFERENT PARTS IN ORDER TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE. RIDICULOUS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING, THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING BETWEEN GEARS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE STABILITY TRACK WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO QUIRK CHEVROLET OF BANGOR (293 HOGAN RD, BANGOR, ME 04401, (207) 945-9401) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED WITH NEEDING THE BRAKE CONTROL MODULE TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE AND WAS INFORMED OF A POSSIBLE PARTIAL REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE REPAIRS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 50,760.

I WAS DRIVING IN TRAFFIC GOING 5MPH OR LESS. BRAKES KEPT SLIPPING AND HAD TO PUSH DOWN ON THE BRAKES TO MAKE MY TRUCK STOP ALMOST CAUSING ME TO HIT THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME MULTIPLE TIMES. BRAKE ASSIST KEPT POPPING UP ON THE DASH. PROBLEM ONLY OCCURS AT LOW SPEEDS.
Service brakes, Jan 13, 2021
WHILE IN THE DRIVE THROUGH, MY BRAKES FADED AND MY TRUCK WOULD BARLEY STOP. THE PEDAL FELT DIFFERENT. I ALMOST REAR ENDED THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. MY SERVICE "BRAKE ASSIST" WARNING CAME ON. FROM WHAT I READ, IT APPEARS TO VERY SIMILAR TO WHAT OTHER TRUCKS MY YEAR ARE EXPERIENCING BUT MINE WASN'T COVERED BY ANY RECALLS??

AT SLOW SPEEDS, TYPICALLY IN PARKING LOTS OR RESTAURANT DRIVE THRU TRAVELING AT LESS THAN 5 MPH THE BREAKING SYSTEM FAILS AND I HAVE NO BRAKES. THIS HAS OFFERED 3 TIMES. MY TRUCK HAS 38000 MILES.
Service brakes, Dec 6, 2020
WHILE GOING THROUGH A DRIVE THROUGH RESTAURANT, AFTER I ORDERED MY FOOD AND LET MY FOOT OFF MY BRAKE TO ADVANCE FORWARD AND STOP AT THE WINDOW TO PAY ABOUT 20-30 FEET AHEAD, I COULD NOT BRAKE IN TIME TO STOP AT THE WINDOW. MY BRAKE PEDAL WAS VERY HARD TO PUSH AND EVEN THOUGH I WAS PUSHING VERY HARD IT BARELY STOPPED, EVEN THOUGH I WAS GOING LESS THAN ONE MPH. THIS WAS VERY SCARY AS NONE OF MY WARNING LIGHTS WERE NOTING ERRORS AND IT HAPPENED OUT OF THE BLUE. I ONLY LIVE TWO MILES AWAY SO I DROVE HOME VERY SLOW AND I DIDN'T NOTICE THE SAME ISSUE ON THE DRIVE HOME. HOWEVER, WHEN I PULLED MY TRUCK INTO THE GARAGE, IT STARTED TO HAPPEN AGAIN AND I COULD HEAR THE BREAKS DOING SOMETHING WEIRD. I'M TAKING IT TO THE SHOP TODAY TO GET FIXED TOMORROW WHEN THE SHOP OPENS. I DID RECEIVE TWO WARNING MESSAGES VIA TEXT WHEN I GOT HOME. DIAGNOSTIC ALERT: SERVICE THE STABILITRAK STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM IN YOUR 2017 SILVERADO WITHIN 7 DAYS. TXT STOP TO CANCEL. DIAGNOSTIC ALERT: SERVICE THE ANTILOCK BRAKING SYSTEM IN YOUR 2017 SILVERADO WITHIN 7 DAYS. TXT STOP TO CANCEL. MY MAIN CONCERN IS THE ARTICLES I READ ABOUT THIS ISSUE MAKE IT SOUND LIKE WARNING LIGHTS GO OFF TO LET YOU KNOW SOMETHING IS WRONG AND THE ARTICLES SAY IT'S OK TO DRIVE BECAUSE THE SAFETY FEATURES DISENGAGE, HOWEVER, MY FEATURES DID NOT DISENGAGE WITHOUT WARNING AND I'M GLAD A CAR OR PERSON WAS NOT IN FRONT OF ME AT THE TIME IT HAPPENED OR I WOULD HAVE HIT THEM. THIS IS VERY CONCERNING AND NEEDS ADDRESSED BEFORE SOMEONE DIES.
Service brakes, Nov 22, 2020
WHEN PRESSING THE BRAKES AT LOW SPEEDS SUCH AS IN A DRIVE THRU OR PARKING LOT, THERE IS A PRESSURE LOSS IN THE BRAKES. THIS REQUIRES SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASED BRAKING PRESSURE TO STOP. FAILURES ARE ASSOCIATED WITH A TICKING SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT OR VIBRATION IN THE PEDALS.
Service brakes, Nov 17, 2020
PRESSING THE BRAKES AT LOW SPEEDS (DRIVE THRU, PARKING SPACES) SEEMS TO CAUSE A PRESSURE LOSS IN THE BRAKES. THIS CAUSES INCREASED BRAKING PRESSURE TO STOP. YOU CAN HEAR A TICK COMING FROM WHAT I ASSUME IS THE ABS CONTROLLER. THIS HAPPENS IN FORWARDS AND REVERSE.
Service brakes, Nov 17, 2020
I NOTICED OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS, WHEN VEHICLE IS MOVING AT VERY LOW SPEEDS LESS THAN 10MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL IS HARD TO PUSH DOWN AND VEHICLE KEEPS ROLLING BEFORE COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP. THIS CAN BE REPLICATED EVERY TIME EVEN WHEN GOING IN REVERSE. AT SPEEDS ABOVE 10MPH, THE BRAKING SYSTEM WORKS JUST FINE. THIS HAS CAUSED A FEW NEAR MISSES WHERE I ALMOST BACKED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE WHILE PARKING IN REVERSE IN A LOT; ALMOST RAN INTO MY GARAGE DOOR; AND ALMOST CRASHED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME AT THE LIGHT. IF YOU GO FROM PARK TO DRIVE AND JUST LIFT YOUR FOOT OFF THE BRAKE PEDAL WITHOUT APPLYING GAS AND VEHICLE STARTS ROLLING, THEN YOU APPLY THE BRAKES, IT WILL KEEP ROLLING A FEW FEET BEFORE COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP AND AS MENTIONED PREVIOUSLY THE BRAKE PEDAL IS HARD TO PUSH DOWN AND ONLY GOES DOWN ABOUT A COUPLE INCHES. I AM SCHEDULED TO TAKE MY VEHICLE IN TO SERVICE THIS ISSUE AT THE DEALER.
Service brakes, Nov 13, 2020
BRAKES HAVE FLUTTERED INTERMITTENTLY FOR THE PAST FEW MONTHS AT LOW SPEEDS, FEELS LIKE ABS PULSING. IN THE PAST WEEK TO 10 DAYS, BRAKE PEDAL FEELS "DEAD" WHEN I APPLY BRAKES AT LOW SPEED, HAS GONE TO FLOOR WITH NO RESPONSE TO BRAKING INPUT. YESTERDAY, WHEN PULLING IN DRIVEWAY TOWARDS GARAGE, MAYBE 3 MPH, APPLIED BRAKES WITH NO RESPONSE. SHIFTED QUICKLY INTO NEUTRAL AND APPLIED PARKING BRAKE, STOPPING INCHES AWAY FROM GARAGE DOOR. TRUCK WAS IN FOR BRAKE ISSUE RECALL AND WAS RECALIBRATED ON NOVEMBER 16, 2019. APPARENTLY IT NEEDS TO BE RECALIBRATED OR HAVE FURTHER REPAIR.

WHEN PUSHING DOWN ON THE BREAK PEDAL IT'S NOT SLOWING DOWN AND STOPPING THE TRUCK IT'S HAPPENED ABOUT 5X
Service brakes, Nov 3, 2020
I NOTICED A TICKING NOISE FROM MY ENGINE COMPARTMENT WHILE STATIONARY, AND BEGAN EXPERIENCING A VIBRATING BRAKE PEDAL/NOISE WHEN BRAKING AT LOW SPEED (IN DRIVEWAY OR PARKING LOT). I HAD A 'SERVICE- BRAKE ASSIST' MESSAGE SHOW ON MY INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. ON 11.3.2020, I EARLY STRUCK ANOTHER VEHICLE WHILE PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT DUE TO A DRAMATIC INCREASE IN EFFORT TO PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL. THESE SYMPTOMS CONTINUE AT THE MAJORITY OF MY LOW SPEED BRAKES, I HAVEN'T NOTICED IT WHILE ON CITY STREETS OR HIGHWAYS.

GOT ALERT FROM ONSTAR ABOUT ANTI LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM.
Service brakes, Sep 24, 2020
WHILE PARKING THE TRUCK I LOSS ALL BRAKE PRESSURE. THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND I HAD TO STAND ON THE BRAKES TO GET THE TRUCK STOPPED. ONCE STOPPED AND PARKED I REPEATEDLY PUMPED THE PEDAL WITH NO CHANGES. I HAD THE TRUCK TOWED TO A MECHANIC WHO FOUND NO ISSUES WITH THE FLUID OR SYSTEM IN GENERAL. HE DROVE THE VEHICLE WITH NO ISSUES FOR 10 MINUTES. HE CHECKED THE PADS AND CALIPERS FOR ANY ISSUES WITH NONE BEING FOUND. AFTER PUTTING THE WHEELS BACK ON THE TRUCK IT EXHIBITED A RECURRENCE OF LOSS OF BRAKE PRESSURE.

MY TRUCK HAD THE ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL MODULE REPROGRAMMING WITH SPS AS PER RECALL N192268490 PERFORMED. THE REPROGRAMMING WORKED FINE FOR A FEW MONTHS. IN MARCH 2020, I NOTICED THAT AT LOW SPEEDS AND MAINLY WHEN BACKING, THE BRAKES BEGAN TO LOSE PRESSURE AND WHAT SOUNDED LIKE AND FELT LIKE THE ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM WAS ENGAGING, AND VERY HARD PRESSURE WAS NEEDED TO STOP THE TRUCK WITH LONGER THAN EXPECTED BRAKING OCCURRING. THE PROBLEM HAS DEFINITELY WORSENED AND OCCURS NEARLY EVERY TIME BRAKING AT LOW SPEEDS IN REVERSE WITH ANY TYPE OF INCLINE. WHILE BACKING MY BOAT INTO A DRIVEWAY, THIS ISSUE OCCURRED AND NEARLY SENT THE BOAT INTO THE GARAGE DOOR. I HAD TO APPLY AS MUCH PRESSURE AS I POSSIBLY COULD TO THE BRAKES TO STOP THE TRUCK AND BOAT BEFORE HITTING THE GARAGE DOOR. THE ISSUE HAS OCCURRED REPEATEDLY AS I HAVE BACKED UP ON AN INCLINE, WITH OR WITHOUT A TRAILER OR BOAT ATTACHED TO MY TRUCK.

MY TRUCK HAD THE ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL MODULE REPROGRAMMING WITH SPS AS PER RECALL N192268490 PERFORMED ON NOVEMBER 11, 2019. THE REPROGRAMMING WORKED FINE FOR A FEW MONTHS. IN MARCH 2020, I NOTICED THAT AT LOW SPEEDS AND MAINLY WHEN BACKING, THE BRAKES BEGAN TO LOSE PRESSURE AND WHAT SOUNDED LIKE AND FELT LIKE THE ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM WAS ENGAGING, AND VERY HARD PRESSURE WAS NEEDED TO STOP THE TRUCK WITH LONGER THAN EXPECTED BRAKING OCCURRING. AS A FEW MONTHS MORE PAST, I DID NOT RECOGNIZE THE PROBLEM MUCH AS WE HAVE QUARANTINED DURING THE COVID-19 CRISIS AND HAVE NOT DRIVEN MUCH. HOWEVER, SINCE LATE MAY, THE PROBLEM HAS DEFINITELY WORSENED AND OCCURS NEARLY EVERY TIME BRAKING AT LOW SPEEDS BOTH MOVING FORWARD AND REVERSE. I HAVE NOW SEEN THE WARNING TO SERVICE THE BRAKE ASSIST MESSAGE APPEAR ON MY DASH. ON MAY 28TH, 2020, WHILE BACKING OUR BOAT INTO STORAGE, THIS ISSUE OCCURRED AND NEARLY SENT THE BOAT INTO THE STORAGE ENTRY SIDE WALL AS THERE IS A SLIGHT HILL JUST IN FRONT OF OUR STORAGE. I HAD TO APPLY AS MUCH PRESSURE AS I POSSIBLY COULD TO THE BRAKES TO STOP THE TRUCK AND BOAT BEFORE HITTING THE ENTRY SIDE WALL. THE ISSUE OCCURRED REPEATEDLY AS I HAD TO MANEUVER THE BOAT BACK AND FORTH MUCH DIFFERENTLY TO ACCOUNT FOR THE BRAKING ISSUE. I NOTIFIED MY LOCAL CHEVROLET SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND WAS TOLD A NEW VACUUM BRAKE PUMP WOULD NEED TO BE INSTALLED AND WOULD BE AT CHEVROLET'S EXPENSE. *TR

VEHICLE LOSES BRAKING ABILITY WHEN IN A SLOW-SPEED SITUATION, SUCH AS WHEN PARKING, GOING THROUGH A DRIVE-THROUGH RESTAURANT, OR WHEN IN STOP-AND-GO TRAFFIC. BRAKE PEDAL WILL GO TO THE FLOOR WHEN THE SITUATION OCCURS. A NOISE MAY OCCUR THAT APPEARS TO BE THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM TRYING TO ENGAGE. PUMPING THE BRAKES SEEMS TO RESTORE FUNCTIONALITY FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. THE ISSUE DOES NOT OCCUR WHEN THE VEHICLE IS TRAVELING AT STREET AND HIGHWAY SPEEDS. *TR

MY TRUCK BEGAN WITH A NOTIFICATION THAT SAYS "SERVICE STABILITRAK", OVER THE COURSE OF 48 HOURS IT WENT FROM ON HARD BUMPS AND JUST THE NOTIFICATION, TO NOW CONSTANTLY TURNING ON. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE WITH THE ABS, BUT I HAVE TO PAY THE DEALER OUT OF POCKET. THEY ARE CURRENTLY DOING THE DIAGNOSIS ON IT TO SEE WHAT THE ISSUE IS. IF THE ISSUE MATCHES THE SAME ABS ISSUE AS THE RECALLS FOR 2014-2018 MODELS ON THE SILVERADO, WOULD THERE BE A WAY TO FIGHT THE CHARGES? THE WARNING NOTIFICATION AND ICON WOULD LIGHT UP WHEN EITHER STATIONARY OR MOVING AT ANY SPEED. 48 HOURS AGO IT WOULD ONLY DO IT WHEN TURNING AT ALMOST FULL ROTATION, OR DRIVING OVER SOME CRACKS ON THE ROAD. NOW IT JUST DOES IT RANDOMLY AND VERY OFTEN TO WHERE THE BRAKES WOULD SHAKE WHEN APPLIED. POWER ALSO GOES DOWN A BIT, AND THE WHEEL WOULD JERK. PRETTY MUCH EXACTLY AS HOW ALL THE PRIOR COMPLAINTS ABOUT IT BEFORE THE RECALL WHEN IT REACHED YOUTUBE. IT MAKES DRIVING VERY DANGEROUS AS I CAN BE TURNING, THEN THE WHEEL WOULD SPRING BACK INTO A DIFFERENT POSITION. BEFORE THIS NOTIFICATION, WHEN I APPLY THE BRAKE IT WOULD BE VERY SMOOTH. NOW BECAUSE THE TRUCK THINKS THERE'S SOME KIND OF ABS ISSUE, WHEN I BRAKE, IT WOULD SHAKE THE BRAKE RESPONSE (LIKE OLD CARS BEFORE ABS) AND ALSO MAKE THE VEHICLE VERY UNSTEADY. I CANNOT BRAKE ON A STRAIGHT LINE AS IT WOULD SWAY THE VEHICLE. *TR
