The connecting rod and/or crankshaft engine components may have manufacturing defects that can lead to engine damage and engine failure.
General Motors, LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2024 Chevrolet Silverado EV and 2024-2025 GMC Sierra EV pickup trucks. The bolt that secures the rear center seat belt assembly to the seat structure may not have been properly tightened.
OEM Systems, LLC (OEM) is recalling certain 2024 Chevrolet Silverado vehicles. The rear bumper mounting bracket may not be sufficient for towing, which can allow the towed trailer to detach from the vehicle.
Complaints are unverified owner reports to NHTSA and are not normalized for sales volume. One complaint can cite several components.
“While traveling down the road at approximately 65 mph, I lost all power to the truck while towing an empty 3500lb trailer. I was unable to restart vehicle and had to have it towed to a dealership at my expense.”
“Conditions: Night, Raining, apx 50*F. Traveling on the highway apx 70 MPH with a loaded 18ft enclosed trailer (within the advertised towing limits of the truck). I accelerated to pass a tractor trailer. the transmission attempted to downshift, resulting in a loud bang and shudder. I attempted to accelerate once more. This time the transmission tried to shift, the rear wheels stopped turning for a second or two, resulting in a slide and requiring steering input to maintain the vehicle traveling straight. The rear wheels unlocked and began turning again. I coasted down to apx 55mph and attempted to maintain a lower speed until the next exit. While trying to maintain a safe speed for surrounding traffic, the transmission attempted to downshift. This time resulting in apx 4-6 seconds of the rear wheels stopping and skidding, resulting in a slide situation requiring steering input to remain in control of the truck/ trailer while the rear tires slid. I stopped on the shoulder, locked the truck into gears no higher than 4th gear and drove to the nearest dealer without further issues.”
“Engine wiring harness. Apparently engineeed, designed or installed poorly. With normal use, multiple points are subject to wearing of insulation or wire fracture. While on cruise, transmission went into limp mode. Dealer verified exposed wire, replacing entire harness.Chevy has service bulletins out on the issue but nothing to the customer.”
Towing, payload and dimensions aren’t in the EPA or NHTSA data, so we don’t list them.
