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.

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.

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.

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.

BRAKES HAVE NO POWER ASSIST AT SLOW SPEEDS. STARTED WHEN PARKING SLOWLY IN REVERSE, BUT ALSO CAN DO IT MOVING FORWARD. BRAKES FAIL AND REQUIRE VERY HARD PRESS OF BRAKE PEDAL TO ENGAGE AT ALL! SEEMS LIKE VACUUM PUMP IS GOING OUT. LOOKS LIKE A COMMON COMPLAINT/PROBLEM THAT CHEVY SHOULD RECALL AND HAS NOT. IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE!
Service brakes, Apr 19, 2020
I HAD GM RECALL N192268490 (NHTSA CAMPAIGN 19V645) COMPLETED SEVERAL MONTHS AGO. TODAY AS I WAS BACKING UP AT LOW SPEED I ALMOST CRASHED INTO MY GARAGE DUE TO INCREASED BRAKING EFFORT REQUIRED TO STOP THE VEHICLE.

WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY; APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, ON A RAINY DAY, I APPLIED THE BRAKES AND THEY WOULDN'T GRAB. THEY WERE HARD SO I PUMPED THE BRAKES TWICE AGAIN AND THEY GRABBED SLOWLY BUT THE PEDAL WAS VERY HARD. THAT SAME DAY; WHILE DRIVING 5 MPH, I APPLIED THE BRAKES AND THERE WAS A TREMBLING AND A NOISE. THIS MAJOR AND DANGEROUS ISSUE IS INTERMIT AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IMMEDIATELY. I EXPLAINED THIS TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAVE YET TO FOLLOW-UP TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. THEY SAID IT WAS PROBABLY THE ENGINE-MOUNTED MECHANICAL VACUUM PUMP. *TR

WHILE COMING TO A STOP IN TURN LANE, BRAKE ASSIST LIGHT CAME ON. INTERMITTENT ISSUE. AFTER COUPLE DAYS OF EXPERIENCING, I TAKE TRUCK IN TO FIND OUT ABOUT RECALL. THEY PERFORM REPROGRAMMING. DOESN'T FIX ISSUE. TELL ME I HAVE TO PAY DIAGNOSTIC FEE. THY FIND VACUUM PUMP NEEDS REPLACING. THEY COVERED COST UNDER "SPECIAL COVERAGE" BECAUSE THEY KNOW IT'S FAULTY (BUT NOT COVERED ALREADY UNDER RECALL?). THEY SAY IT'S FIXED. I PICK THE TRUCK UP, BRAKE ASSIST LIGHT COMES ON DRIVING OUT THE PARKING LOT. TAKE IT BACK NEXT DAY. THEY TELL ME "PIN" IN THE CONNECTOR IS BROKEN CAUSING "GROUND FAULT." THEY CHARGE ME $500+ TO RUN NEW WIRE IN WIRE HARNESS. SAME CONNECTOR THAT WOULD HAVE TO BE TOUCHED WHILE REPLACING VACUUM PUMP. I PAY TO HAVE PIN FIXED. 3 WEEKS LATER, BRAKE ASSIST LIGHT COMES BACK ON WITH SAME EXACT SYMPTOMS. THIS TIME, THEY TELL ME ECBM NEED TO BE REPLACED. NOT JUST REPROGRAMMED. SOMEHOW, THE PRIOR TIMES, THE ERROR CODE WASN'T STORED. A) ERRORS AREN'T BEING STORED B) THEY'RE COVERING THEIR WARRANTY COST BY CHARGING FOR OTHER ADJACENT PARTS C) BRAKE ASSIST ISSUE GOING ON FOR NEARLY 8 WEEKS NOW UNRESOLVED. THEY NEED TO EXPAND THEIR RECALL TO INCLUDE ADJACENT "CONNECTORS" WHICH THE DEALER ADMITS HARDLY EVER FAIL. ALSO SHOULD INCLUDE VACUUM PUMP NOT JUST AS SPECIAL COVERAGE. ALSO, RECALL SHOULD EXPAND TO REPLACE ECBM BECAUSE APPARENTLY THEY AREN'T STORING FAULT CODES WHEN THEY OCCUR. I READ THIS SAME THING ACROSS MANY FORUM POSTS ONLINE. ALL THE SAME ISSUES. HARD BRAKING, OR SOFT MECHANICAL BRAKE FEEL. I'VE NOW SPENT 1100 DOLLARS ON A PROBLEM THAT FALLS SQUARELY WITHIN THE DESCRIPTION OF THE RECALL. THEY TELL ME THAT "THESE PARTS" AREN'T COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. I SAY, EXPAND THE RECALL. RECALL STATES THEY DON'T HAVE TO INCLUDE THIS IN SEC FILINGS. I THINK THEY ARE UNDER REPRESENTING THEIR TRUE COSTS. MY GM CASE #9-5696419690

THIS COMPLAINT DEALS WITH THE BRAKE RECALL COMING FROM GM. I DID TAKE THE TRUCK TO HAVE THE BRAKE SYSTEM REPROGRAMMED. I HAD NO ISSUES UNTIL AFTER THE REPROGRAMMING OF THE SYSTEM. WHILE IN PARKING LOT GOING LESS THAN 5 MPH. I PULLED INTO A PARKING SPOT PLACED THE TRUCK INTO REVERSE TO STRAIGHTEN OUT AND DURING THE PROCESS OF PULLING BACK INTO THE PARKING SPACE STRAIGHT. WHEN I WENT TO DEPRESS THE PEDAL IT WAS VERY STIFF, IT ACTUALLY SEEMED AS IF THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS PUSHING BACK AT MY FOOT AND THE TRUCK DID NOT STOP WHEN IT WAS EXPECTED TO. LUCKILY, THERE WAS NO CAR IN THE SPACE IN FRONT OF ME ALLOWING FOR THE TRUCK TO COME TO A STOP WITH NO ACCIDENTS OR INCIDENTS. THIS AT OCCURRED APPROXIMATELY 73,500 MILES. I DID NOTIFY THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT THIS AND THEY ARE REPLACING THE VACUUM BRAKE PUMP FREE OF CHARGE. HOWEVER, IF CIRCUMSTANCES WERE DIFFERENT THIS ISSUE MAY HAVE RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT.

I PICKED MY TRUCK UP FROM THE LOCAL DEALER AFTER HAVING RECALL N192268490 REPAIRED. THE HARD PEDAL ISSUE IS NOW WORSE THAN BEFORE. THE FIRST TIME YOU PUSH THE BRAKE PEDAL IT FEELS OK BUT THE SECOND TIME IT HAS LITTLE TO NO POWER ASSIST AND DON'T TRY FOR A THIRD.
