Buying a used 2023 Chevrolet Silverado 1500? Check these 3 recalls first
A shorter list than earlier years: trucks that may not display a low brake fluid warning, 6.2L V8 engines that may fail, and daytime running lights that stay on. None carry stop-driving or park-outside instructions. NHTSA has 372 owner complaints — unverified reports — including 7 crashes, 6 fires and 2 injuries, with engine the largest area at 144 and powertrain at 104. Engine concerns appear in both the recall and complaint records.
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.
- Check which engine it has and whether the 6.2L V8 recall remedy is documented.
- Check the brake fluid level yourself, since the low-fluid warning may not display.
- Ask whether the daytime running light recall has been performed.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Chevrolet dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
