7 NHTSA recalls · 74 owner complaints on file

The 2019 Silverado 2500 has 7 recalls in this group. Several address side or roof airbag inflators, including a roof inflator rupture risk; others concern block heater cord fire or short-circuit risks and rear fuel tank problems that may stall the engine.

Reports also include 6 fires, without establishing their causes.

Before you buy

  1. 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.
  2. Confirm completion of every applicable side and roof airbag inflator campaign.
  3. Verify block heater cord recall repairs and ask about overheating.
  4. Request records for stalling, fuel-system faults, and power-train repairs.
  5. Open recalls are repaired free at any Chevrolet dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
