Buying a used 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 1500? Check these 2 recalls first
Two recalls so far: a trailer that may detach while towing, and 6.2L V8 engines that may fail. Neither carries a stop-driving or park-outside warning. NHTSA has 306 owner complaints on file — unverified reports — with 8 crashes, no fires and 3 injuries. Engine is by far the largest complaint area at 146, followed by powertrain at 93, so engine issues show up in both records on this still-young truck.
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.
- Confirm whether it has the 6.2L V8 and whether that recall repair is documented.
- If it has been used for towing, ask about the trailer detachment recall remedy and inspect the hitch hardware.
- Ask for service history on any engine noise, misfire or oil consumption.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Chevrolet dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
