Buying a used 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 2500? Check these 4 recalls first
The 2024 Silverado 2500 has 4 recalls in this group. Steering gear fracture is the standout concern, alongside two tailgate unlatching campaigns and an incorrect tire pressure label. Its 145 NHTSA owner complaints are unverified reports, led by electrical system issues at 56, service brakes at 39, and power train at 36. The record also lists 4 crashes, 1 fire, and 3 injuries. Recall completion and the truck’s electrical, braking, and shifting history deserve specific documentation.
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 VIN-specific steering gear recall completion.
- Confirm both tailgate campaigns and tire pressure label correction.
- Ask for electrical, brake, and transmission 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.
