Buying a used 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 2500? Check these 4 recalls first
The critical recall on this year is loss of steering, which is more serious than the routine remainder: two tailgate unlatch recalls and an incorrect tire pressure label. As a recent model year, it has the highest complaint volume here — 139 unverified NHTSA reports, with electrical system, service brakes and powertrain all heavily represented. Three crashes, one fire and three injuries were alleged. No recall carries a stop-driving or park-outside warning.
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 steering loss recall was performed and test for any heaviness, wandering or noise at the wheel.
- Check the door jamb tire pressure label against the owner's manual, since the label may be wrong.
- Ask about brake feel and any warning lights, given service brakes and electrical 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.
