GMC Sierra 1500 chrome grille piece may fall off

NHTSA campaign 25V060000 · Reported 2025-02-06 · General Motors, LLC

A detached front grille deflector may become a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash. The notice does not tell owners to stop driving.

What's wrong, in plain English

Certain 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 trucks have a chrome deflector on the front grille. The clips and attachment points that hold this trim piece on can break, which lets the grille deflector come loose and fall off the truck. If that happens while driving, the loose piece becomes debris in the road that other drivers could hit or swerve to avoid. A dealer will reinforce or repair all of the attachment points so the piece stays put. Owner letters went out March 17, 2025.
