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. 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.

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.

IT SEEMS AS IF THERE ARE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS FOR THIS REASON.

A FEW MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING FROM DEALER CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON SOLID. BROUGHT TO DEALER. VEHICLE WAS SHAKING AND RUNNING ROUGH..DEALER DIAGNOSED ISSUE AS FAULTY FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR. THEY REPLACED THE PART THROUGH MY EXTENDED WARRANTY. A FEW MONTHS LATER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CANE ON BLINKING SAME ISSUE VEHICLE SHAKING AND RUNNING ROUGH. TOOK TO DEALER IMMEDIATELY. THEY DIAGNOSED AS BAD FUEL INJECTOR. THEY CLAIMED THE ECM WENT BAD CAUSED BY THE BAD FUEL INJECTOR. THEY REPLACED ECM AND FUEL INJECTORS COSTING THOUSANDS. THEY CONVINCED ME I HAD TO PAY FOR A "PLATINUM FUEL INJECTION SERVICE" AFTER IT WAS REPLACED. THIS WAS ANOTHER $300. I WAS PROMISED THE ISSUE WAS FIXED. I WAS TOLD IF CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON FOR SAME ISSUE IT WOULD BE COVERED "UNDER GOOD FAITH"...WELL 2 WEEKS LATER THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON AFTER HARDLY EVEN USING THE TRUCK... I HAD MY FAMILY IN THE TRUCK FOR A PLANNED FAMILY EVEN AND HAD TO PULL OFF IN THE SWELTERING HEAT TO PAY FOR A TOW TRUCK TO COME GET MY VEHICLE....NOW IT SITS OVER AT THE DEALER AGAIN...THEY WANT ME TO PAY A DIAGNOSTIC AGAIN. AND IT HAS NOT EVEN BEEN LOOKED AT. FOR THE AMOUNT I PAID FOR THIS TRUCK IT IS DANGEROUS UNTRUSTWORTHY AND EMBARRASSING. AFTER READING ALL THESE COMPLAINTS FOR FUEL INJECTORS GONE BAD AT EARLY LIFE, WHY IS THIS NOT RECALLED?

Power train, Jun 30, 2020
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

WHILE OPERATING THE MOVING VEHICLE THE TOUCHSCREEN ACTIVATES BY ITSELF CAUSING RADIO TO TURN ON OR OFF, BOTH CITY AND HIGHWAY OPERATION.

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.

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.

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
