Buying a used 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 3500? Check these 3 recalls first
A short list dominated by two critical items: a brake module fire risk that carries a park-outside warning, and diesel rear wheels that can suddenly lock. The third recall, a tailgate that can unlatch on its own, is routine across these heavy-duty years. Owners filed 27 unverified NHTSA complaints, thinly spread across unspecified issues, electrical, latches and service brakes; two crashes and one fire were reported, no injuries.
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 where the truck was stored before the fix.
- Verify the rear wheel lock-up recall on diesel models and ask about braking or rear axle symptoms.
- Cycle the tailgate and check it stays latched, matching the latch-related 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.
