Buying a used 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 2500? Check these 3 recalls first
Only three recalls, but two are critical: a brake module fire risk carrying a park-outside warning, and diesel rear wheels that can suddenly lock. The third is a tailgate that can unlatch on its own. The complaint picture is busier than the recall list suggests — 94 unverified NHTSA reports led by electrical system, with a large unspecified category, plus powertrain and latch complaints that line up with the tailgate recall. Three crashes and two fires reported.
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 the brake module recall is closed and ask whether the truck was parked outside before the repair.
- Cycle the tailgate several times and check that it latches and holds under load.
- Ask about electrical faults — infotainment, warning lights, accessory power — given they lead the complaints.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Chevrolet dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
