Buying a used 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 3500? Check these 3 recalls first
The standout is a critical recall for Silverado and Sierra HD trucks that can lose steering — the kind of item worth confirming as actually repaired, not just mailed. Two further medium-severity recalls cover a heavy-duty tailgate that can unlatch by itself. None carries a stop-driving or park-outside instruction. NHTSA lists 49 owner complaints, which are unverified reports, including 2 crashes and 1 injury; they cluster in electrical system, power train and service brakes.
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.
- Get VIN proof the steering-loss recall repair was completed
- Open and latch the tailgate repeatedly; both tailgate recalls apply
- Test brakes and electrical functions thoroughly on the test drive
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Chevrolet dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
