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.

VEHICLE RADIO DISPLAY IS TOO BRIGHT. USING THE DIMMER DOES STILL LEAVES THE RADIO THE BRIGHTEST DISPLAY INSIDE THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT BLINDING THE DRIVER AT NIGHT. THE ONLY OPTION IS TO TURN THE DISPLAY OFF WHICH TAKES 5 SEPARATE INPUTS TO THE DISPLAY CONTROL. ONCE THE DISPLAY IS TURNED OFF ANY OTHER INPUT TO THE RADIO OR HEATING/AC CONTROLS TURNS THE DISPLAY BACK ON AND REQUIRES ANOTHER DISPLAY INPUT TO TURN THE DISPLAY OFF AGAIN.

BOUGHT 2017 SILVERADO 1500 LTZ NEW. BACKUP CAMERA WILL NOT DIM AT NIGHT, BLINDING, MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO BACK UP, UNABLE TO SEE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE. BEEN THAT WAY SINCE NEW. IT'S A SAFETY FACTOR, RIGHT NOW IT WOULD BE BETTER OFF WITHOUT IT AT NIGHT. SALESMAN AT DEALERSHIP SAID THAT'S JUST THE WAY IT IS. I HAVE THREE OTHER GM VEHICLES, ALL OF THEM HAVE BACKUP CAMERAS THAT DIM WITH THE INSTRUMENT LIGHTING. I WAS TOLD THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN OUT THERE, BUT THE DEALER KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT IT.

TRUCK EXHIBITS A ROUGH IDLE AFTER TRUCK IS DRIVEN AND WARM. IDLE CAUSES TEH TRUCK TO SHAKE AND FEELS LIKE IT WILL DIE AT STOPS. RPM DROPS BELOW 300 RPM THEN GOES BACK TO 490 RPM. IN ADDITION THE TRUCK WILL START TO SHAKE AND VIBRATE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS OF 75-80 MPH. GMC SERVICE PERFORMED TSB CHANGING OUR ENGINE MOUNTS BUT THAT HAS NOT FIXED THE ISSUE. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE ON SILVERADOS AND NO FIX IN SITE. CONCERNED WITH SEAT VIBRATION THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE DUE TO POTENTIAL DRIVE TRAIN PART FAILURE.

8 SPEED TRANSMISSION SHIFT VERY ROUGH FROM 1-2 AND 2-1 GEARS, FREQUENTLY HESITATES, MAKES CLUNKING SOUND. HAVE TAKEN IT TO GM DEALER AND AM INFORMED THAT YES, THAT'S THE WAY THE 8 SPEEDS ARE. THIS IS A $50K + TRUCK. THIS TRANSMISSION ISSUE CAUSES AND CAN CAUSE HESITATION WHEN NEEDING TO ACCELERATE, THUS CREATING A SAFETY HAZARD.

I PURCHASED A NEW (175 MILES) 2017 CHEVROLET SILVERADO LS 4X4 FROM A DEALERSHIP ON 2/10/2017. I NOTICED THE RIDE WAS A BIT BUMPY ON THE 80 MILE RIDE HOME FROM THE DEALERSHIP, BUT THOUGHT NOTHING OF IT. THE NEXT TIME I DROVE IT WAS 2 WEEKS LATER (I WAS ON BUSINESS TRAVEL IN BETWEEN AND LET THE TRUCK SIT IN MY GARAGE), AND I DROVE IT AROUND TOWN ON 2/25/2017. IN ADDITION TO A MINOR ROUGH IDLE, IT WAS VERY BUMPY. IT WOULD SHAKE AT VIRTUALLY ALL SPEEDS. AFTER MY 5 MINUTE DRIVE FROM THE GROCERY STORE, I LITERALLY FELT DIZZY AND ILL. THE NEXT MORNING ON 2/26/2018, I DROVE IT TO WORK (25 MILES), AND EXPERIENCED THE SAME FEELINGS OF MOTION SICKNESS. I AM A CERTIFIED AUTO TECHNICIAN WITH NEARLY 20 YEARS EXPERIENCE, AND HAVE WORKED ON ALL COMPONENTS OF CARS AND TRUCKS (ENGINE REPAIR / OVERHAUL, TRANSMISSION, SUSPENSION, BRAKES, ELECTRICAL, HEATING / AC, ETC.). I'VE WORKED ON TRUCKS SPANNING A WIDE RANGE OF YEARS WITH VARIOUS ISSUES AND MILEAGES (LOW MILEAGE TO +250,000 MILES). I HAVE NEVER FELT A MORE UNCOMFORTABLE RIDE IN A TRUCK IN MY YEARS OF TEST DRIVING VEHICLES (BEFORE AND AFTER REPAIR) THAN I HAVE WITH THIS NEW 2017 SILVERADO. I ATTEMPTED TO CONTACT LANDERS MCLARTY CHEVROLET IN HUNTSVILLE, AL, AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS SAFETY CONCERN COULD NOT BE ADDRESSED AT THEIR DEALERSHIP UNTIL THE TRUCK HAD AT LEAST 500 MILES . I INFORMED THEM OF MY CONCERNS ABOUT DRIVING IT UNTIL THEN AS I HAVE UNDER 400 MILES ON IT, AND THEY TOLD ME TO DRIVE 80 MILES TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT IT TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT. UNBELIEVABLE! AFTER MUCH RESEARCH, THIS "MOTION SICKNESS" ISSUE IS A KNOWN ISSUE BY GENERAL MOTORS, AND DOES NOT HAVE A PROVEN DOCUMENTED FIX IN PLACE TO THIS DAY.

WHEN WE FIRST BOUGHT THE VEHICLE WE RECEIVED THE ERROR MESSAGE: ANTILOCK BRAKES & STABILITRAK PROBLEMS & WHEEL VIBRATED TERRIBLY. TOOK IT IN, THEY SAID IT WAS THE COMPUTER AND FIXED IT. THIS MORNING ERROR RE: ANTI LOCK BRAKE PROBLEM AND NO BRAKE FLUID (PUT IN A WHOLE CAN) AND ERROR TRACTION OFF (BUT WE DID NOT TURN IT OFF) THIS IS A NEW VEHICLE AND WE COULD GET KILLED OR KILL ANOTHER IF THERE IS A BRAKE FAILURE. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL AND GM SHOULD BUY BACK THE VEHICLE FROM US. THANK YOU FOR ANY HELP YOU CAN GIVE US. *TR

RADIO DISPLAY CHANGES FROM BRIGHT TO DIM WHENEVER IT WANTS TO. ALSO RADIO CHANGES WITHOUT EVEN TOUCHING THE SCREEN. POWER ADAPTER HAS STARTED NOT POWERING GARMIN AFTER BEING PLUGGED IN DURING TRIP. HAD TO TRY RECONNECTING SEVERAL TIMES. AFTER CONNECTION FIXED GARMIN LOST POWER EVEN AFTER REINSERTING ADAPTER. THESE PROBLEMS HAPPEN ON BOTH CITY, HIGHWAY AND FREEWAY DRIVING. THE LATEST WAS SHOWN TO LOCAL DEALER RIGHT AFTER IT HAPPENED. I'M SURE WHEN THE VEHICLE IS CHECKED UNDER WARRANTY THAT NOTHING WILL BE FOUND. THATS WHY I WANT ANSWERS IF YOU HAVE ANY. MOST RECENTLY IT HAPPENED ON 20 FEB. 18

IN JUNE OF 2017, I BOUGHT A NEW CHEVROLET SILVERADO. IT RUNS GREAT NO PROBLEMS. IN NOVEMBER 2017 I CALLED TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE OIL CHANGED. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TOLD ME THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON THE CHUGGLE DRIVE QUALITY. THE SERVICE DID WHAT WAS NEEDED TO BE DONE. I HAD TO MAKE A 5-HOUR TRIP UP NORTH WHEN I NOTICED THAT MY TRUCK WASN'T RUNNING LIKE IT WAS BEFORE THE RECALL WAS DONE. I NOTICED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS SHIFTING HARD. WHEN THE CYLINDER DEACTIVATION WENT TO 4 CYLINDERS THE ENGINE LUGS. BEFORE THE RECALL WAS DONE I COULDN'T TELL WHEN THE CYLINDER ACTIVATION WAS SWITCHING TO 4 CYLINDERS BACK TO 8 CYLINDERS IT RAN VERY SMOOTHLY NO LUGGING OF THE ENGINE. WHAT CONCERNS ME NOW IS WHEN I WAS DRIVING AN WENT TO MAKE A LEFT TURN AT SLOW SPEED THE TRANSMISSION DOWNSHIFTED HARD WHERE THE BACK WHEELS LOCKED UP. WENT THROUGH A DRIVE THROUGH AFTER I PLACED THE ORDER PROCEEDED TO THE WINDOW MY TRUCK LUNGED FORWARD FROM FIRST GEAR TO SECOND GEAR. I AM GLAD THAT NO ONE WAS IN FRONT OF ME. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AT THE DEALERSHIP SEVERAL TIMES. WAS TOLD NOTHING WAS WRONG NO CODES CAME UP. EVEN CALLED GM GOT NOWHERE WITH THEM. THE CHUGGLE DRIVE IS A REPROGRAMMING OF THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE. GM TRYING TO FIX ONE PROBLEM CREATED ANOTHER PROBLEM. I PULL A 5000-POUND CAMPER WITH THIS TRUCK WITH THE ISSUES I AM HAVING NOW WITH THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTING HARD AND ENGINE LUGGING I AM AFRAID IT MIGHT CAUSE ME TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT. MY TRUCK RAN PERFECTLY BEFORE THE CHUGGLE DRIVE QUALITY RECALL WAS DONE. THE RECALL HAS TO BE THE PROBLEM. IT'S NOT A GOOD FIX.

TRANSMISSION SHIFTS HARD AND VEHICLE SURGES AT LOW SPEED WITH ACCOMPANING "CLUNK". PROBLEM OCCURS IN BOTH UPSHIFT AND DOWN SHIFT. DEALER INFORMS ME THAT IS A "LEARNING" CURVE FOR VEHICLE TO UNDERSTAND MY DRIVING HABITS.
