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.

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.

DASH CRACKING IN PIECES COULD CAUSE PIECES OF PLASTIC SHARDS TO BECOME AIRBORNE WHEN AIR BAG IS DEPLOYED CAUSING INJURY AND POSSIBLE EYE DAMAGE. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN I HEARD IT POP AFTER TURNING ON DEFROSTER. IT APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM IN CHEVROLET / GM VEHICLES SPANNING MANY YEARS.

THERE'S A BOX UNDER THE STEERING COLUMN THAT CAN VIBRATE LOOSE AND FALL BY YOUR FEET WHILE DRIVING. IT FALLS RIGHT BESIDE THE BRAKE AND MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO SAFELY BRAKE WITHOUT IT SWINGING AROUND. IT CAN BE REPLACED BUT IS CAPABLE OF VIBRATING LOOSE OVER AND OVER.

MY VEHICLE IS A PICKUP WITH THE Z71 OFF ROAD PACKAGE. I USE IT WORKING ON FARM AND PASTURE LAND WHICH REQUIRES ME TO DRIVE OFF ROAD IN TALL GRASS AND BRUSH AT TIMES. I NOTICED, AND IT WAS CALLED TO ATTENTION, THAT GRASS AND BRUSH WAS COLLECTING AROUND THE REAR AXLE, DRIVE LINE AND EXHAUST SYSTEM. I GOT UNDER THE VEHICLE AND FOUND TWO LARGE PLASTIC CLAMPS AROUND THE AXLE HOUSING THAT HAVE A LARGE V SHAPED OPENING FACING THE FRONT OF THE PICKUP. THE CLAMPS ARE CATCHING AND HOLDING GRASS AND BRUSH WHICH THEN BUILDS UP AS THE VEHICLE TRAVELS. I CONSIDER THIS TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE WHICH NUMBER ONE COULD CAUSE A FIRE, CAUSE DAMAGE AND FAILURE OF THE DRIVE LINE AND ENDANGERS MY SAFETY BY HAVING TO CRAWL UNDER THE VEHICLE TO REMOVE THE BRUSH AND GRASS. THIS PROBLEM STARTED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS NEW 6/25/17 TO CURRENT.
Air bags, Oct 26, 2017
MY AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR 2 YEARS. THE DEALER WANTS $100.00 JUST TO LOOK AT IT. I DONT HAVE FUNDS SO I HAVE BEEN CHECKING FOR THE RECALL TO BE SURE. I WAS SENT A NOTICE FROM TK HOLDINGS INC. AND HAVE FILLED OUT A CLAIM BUT STILL DONT KNOW IF I QUALIFY. IT SHOWED ON ONE WEBSITE THAT THERE IS A RECALL SO I WOULD RATHER BE SAFE THAN SORRY NOT TO GO THE FULL ROUTE AND BE SURE MY TRUCK'S AIRBAG IS SAFE.

REAR FACING CAMERA CAN NOT BE DIMMED. WHEN BACKING AT NIGHT, CAMERA DISPLAY IS SO BRIGHT YOU CAN'T USE YOUR MIRRORS. YOU CAN NOT FOCUS ON ANYTHING THAT MAY BE ALONG SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THIS COULD BE DANGEROUS TO ANYONE WHO MIGHT BE OUT OF SIGHT OF THE CAMERA. I HAVE READ THAT OLDER YEAR VEHICLES HAVE A CAMERA DISPLAY DIM FEATURE.

2017 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 WHEN THE VEHICLE IS SHIFTED INTO REVERSE (WHILE STOPPED, FROM EITHER PARK OR NEUTRAL) THE BACKUP CAMERA VIEW APPEARS ON THE DISPLAY SCREEN. THE ISSUE IS WHEN IT IS DARK OUTSIDE, THE DISPLAY IS SO BRIGHT THAT IT BLINDS THE DRIVER. I AM UNABLE TO SEE OUT OF THE WINDOWS OR MIRRORS. THERE IS NO ABILITY TO DIM THE SCREEN WHILE THE BACKUP CAMERA DISPLAY IS ON THE SCREEN. THE SCREEN IS SO BRIGHT THAT IS TAKES A FEW MOMENTS TO REGAIN NIGHT VISION. WHEN I THEN SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL OR DRIVE (BUT BEFORE THE VEHICLE MOVES) THE REAR VIEW CAMERA DISPLAY IS ON THE SCREEN BUT IT IS DIMMED. THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE.

WHEN PUTTING THE VEHICLE INTO REVERSE FOR THE PURPOSE OF BACKING UP, THE RADIO SCREEN ILLUMINATES TO A BLINDING LEVEL OF BRIGHTNESS WHEN THE REAR CAMERA VIEW IS DISPLAYED. THIS IS ESPECIALLY NOTICEABLE AT NIGHT AND IMPAIRS MY ABILITY TO SEE OUT OF MY WINDOWS. THERE IS NO ADJUSTMENT WITHIN THE RADIO SETTINGS TO FIX THIS ISSUE, AND THE ROTATING DIAL TO THE LEFT OF THE EXTERIOR LIGHTING KNOB WILL DO NOTHING TO DIM THE SCREEN WHEN IN REVERSE. DURING NORMAL OPERATION (NOT IN REVERSE), THE SCREEN IS ABLE TO DIM WITH THE ROTATING DIAL WHETHER PARKED OR DRIVING. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SOFTWARE ISSUE THAT IF NOT RESOLVED, COULD RESULT IN DETRIMENTAL IMPACTS TO DRIVING SAFETY, ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT. IF CHEVROLET/GM COULD IMPLEMENT AN UPDATE THAT WOULD ALLOW A SOFTWARE UPDATE TO PUT A "SOFT" BUTTON INTO THE SETTINGS MENU, I FEEL THAT OVERALL VISIBILITY WOULD BE IMPROVED GREATLY AND TEMPORARY NIGHT BLINDNESS WOULD BE A THING OF THE PAST. MY VEHICLE IS NOT THE ONLY TYPE OF GM VEHICLE AFFECTED WITH THIS ISSUE.

THE LIGHT FOR THE BACKUP CAMERA IS EXTREMELY BRIGHT AND BLINDING AT NIGHT. IT BLOCKS UP YOUR VIEW OF THE CAMERA AND MUST BE COVERED WITH A TOWEL IN ORDER TO SEE WHEN BACKING AT NIGHT.

I HAVE BEEN DRIVING A 2017 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Z71 PICK-UP TRUCK SINCE FEBRUARY 2017. SINCE NEARLY DAY ONE, THE VEHICLE HAS EXPERIENCED VIBRATION AND WOBBLE LIKE SHAKING NOTICEABLE AT NORMAL HIGHWAY SPEEDS, BECOMING MORE NOTICEABLE ABOVE 60 MPH. AT CERTAIN INSTANCES THE VEHICLE BEGINS TO EXPERIENCE A MILD BOUNCING. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN TO THE DEALERSHIP TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM FOUR TIMES OVER THE COURSE OF OWNERSHIP (APX. SIX MONTHS AT THE TIME OF THIS SUBMISSION) AND APPROXIMATELY 10,000 DRIVING MILES AND THE ISSUE STILL IS ONGOING. THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY ARE UNABLE TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP HAD CALLED IN A FIELD ENGINEER TO HELP WITH THE ISSUE, TWICE, THEY AS WELL, UNABLE TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP HAS REPLACED NUMEROUS TIRES, ROAD FORCE BALANCED WHEELS AND TIRES, REPLACED SUSPENSION BUSHINGS, STEERING GEAR BOX, STEERING BUSHINGS, UNMOUNTED THE BODY FROM THE CHASSIS AND UNBOLTED THE EXHAUST SYSTEM, REASSEMBLING IN A DIFFERENT PATTERN, REMOVED CALIPER CLIPS, AND MADE OTHER CHANGES. THE ISSUE STILL EXISTS. FOLLOWING THEIR ATTEMPT TO REPAIR THE ISSUE, THE VEHICLE NOW MAKES A CLUNK NOISE WHEN EXECUTING A TIGHT TURNING RADIUS AND DRIVING OVER A SMALL BUMP (SUCH AS A DRIVEWAY APRON). WHEN THE SHAKING / VIBRATION OCCURS, THE VEHICLE FEELS UNSTABLE AND FEELS AS IF THERE MAY BE A LOSS OF CONTROL.
