Buying a used 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500? Check these 6 recalls first
The serious entries repeat from earlier years: two critical recalls for rear wheels that can suddenly lock, plus airbags that may not deploy in a crash and 6.2L V8 engines that may fail. Two milder ones cover a sport bar that blocks the brake light and daytime running lights that stay on. Of 618 unverified owner complaints to NHTSA — 10 crashes, 6 fires, 17 injuries — engine leads at 243, with electrical third at 134.
Before you buy
- Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
- Verify the engine option and whether the 6.2L V8 recall applies and was completed.
- If a sport bar is fitted, check the center brake light is still visible from behind.
- Confirm the airbag recall repair by VIN and look for an airbag warning light at startup.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Chevrolet dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
