Chevrolet 5500HD recalls
4 recalls covering model years 2019. To check whether your vehicle is affected, look up your 17-character VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls — a recall may apply only to some vehicles of a given year.
Reported 2023-04-13 · Campaign 23V266000 · Model years: 2019
A part that senses brake fluid pressure can leak fluid into the electrical switch next to it. The fluid lets electricity go where it should not, which overheats the wiring and can start a fire. This can happen while you are driving the truck or while it sits parked. The dealer replaces the pressure sensor on the master cylinder and looks over the wiring, replacing that too if it has been damaged. All of this is done at no cost to you.
⚠ NHTSA advises: park outside and away from structures (fire risk).
Reported 2021-03-19 · Campaign 21V194000 · Model years: 2019
This recall covers a group of Isuzu and Chevrolet commercial trucks, including 2017-2020 Chevrolet 4500XD, 4500HD, and 5500HD, 2020 Chevrolet 5500XD, and several Isuzu NPR, NQR, NRR and Reach models. The large U-shaped bolts that hold the rear axle in place may not have been tightened properly, so their nuts can work loose. If that happens, the axle can shift out of line, the driveshaft can come apart, and the truck can lose power to the rear wheels and quit moving.
Reported 2020-05-29 · Campaign 20V319000 · Model years: 2019
In these trucks, two computers that control the brakes need to talk to each other. If they lose contact, the truck may fail to turn on the dashboard warning light that tells you the anti-lock brakes are not working. So the anti-lock brakes could be broken and you would never know. That falls short of the federal safety rule for brake systems. A dealer will reprogram the body control module software to make the warning light work properly.
Reported 2019-11-20 · Campaign 19V835000 · Model years: 2019
The lug nuts on the rear outer wheels of these Isuzu-built trucks, sold as the Chevrolet 5500HD and related models, may not have been tightened properly when the wheels were put on at the factory. Nuts that start out loose can back off over time, and a rear wheel can come off the truck while you are driving. Dealers will check those lug nuts and tighten or replace them at no charge.
