Buying a used 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 1500? Check these 2 recalls first
The 2024 Silverado 1500 has 2 recalls in this group, addressing engine failure and a trailer hitch bracket that may allow trailer detachment. These are distinct inspection priorities: engine repair history and documentation of the hitch remedy. The 323 NHTSA owner complaints are unverified reports, with 152 concerning engine, 98 power train, and 43 electrical system. The complaint record includes 8 crashes and 3 injuries, but those reports do not establish that a recalled defect caused them.
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 engine-failure recall applicability and completion by VIN.
- Confirm the trailer hitch bracket recall repair is documented.
- Request engine, transmission, and electrical diagnostic and repair records.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Chevrolet dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
