Recalls, owner-reported complaints, investigations and safety data

Data refreshed

Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

Safety recallsA safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.

InvestigationsNHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.

Crash reported

The backup camera system blackout for half a second and shows up in another position as if the vehicle moved sideways as backup straight. Completely throwing me off direction which make the entire experience full off uncertainty. This has happened since the day I purchased it in 2024 from McNeil chevrolet and they only wasted my time telling me that they reset the computer and SHOULD BE FIXED ( never fixed it !!) Constantly asked about a fix for backup camera when getting other services and recall work done but never fixed or even a apology. They just add on the bill that they washed my truck which never ever happened (lies). So I tried a different dealership (Ballas) and they did replace the 0w20 weight oil that wasn't supposed to be ran in my 6.6 gas motor that Swanton Ballas had put in it, trust the dealership professional they state in their ads now had the wrong oil in it for 1-2 thousand miles. So this dealership looked into the camera system and seen the issue but wouldn't verify it by a simple video or even just put it in writing (Protecting the manufacturer company from responsibility). I contacted GM and I was told that I can get it fixed when they have a fix and here's 30,000 GM points for the waiting. I have already waited nearly 3 years and still no fix. I paid $95,000 for a truck that should have been $70,000 because I originally purchased a 2024 diesel truck from Yark in [XXX] and on my way home with this brand new truck the engine light comes on. I called and the salesperson told me to bring it back right away, and when I got there I told him I don't want it being a problem right away after that he reinsured me diesel motors don't have any issues. He just said that my money was already in the bank. After months of a check engine light coming on constantly and having to go back to have the dealership turn it off GM agreed to build me another truck but I don't get any money back from the 10k motor. GM will not back their own work!!!!!!! Scamming INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFOR

Brakes
Filed Oct 10, 2026

My brake rotors are damaged to the point where they have to be replaced at 36,000 miles this doesn’t sound right to me because I had the same truck in a 2018 and I had over 60,000 miles on it and the brakes were still like new. I was just trying to find out if they’re having a problem with their brake rotors. I never told anything with it and I know other people that tow with the same truck and they have twice as many miles and their brakes are still good.

Manufacturer communications

A bulletin sent by a manufacturer to its dealers. Not a recall, and repairs are not necessarily free.

PIC5650N

This Preliminary Information communication provides information to the technician about vehicles that have an intermittent no crank, no start, or start stall concern with the security light coming on. Technician may find Diagnostic Trouble Codes B3055, B3

PIT6015D

This Preliminary Information provides diagnostic tips and guidance for situations where key fobs cannot be learned or programmed successfully.

PIP6142

This Preliminary Information (PI) relays to dealer technicians to inspect the valve lifters during adjustment or repair for a rocker arm concern or an instance of low lift height.

PIT6564

Beginning with 2026 model year production, the floor console/armrest lamp design was changed by removing the tilt-switch ball. As a result, the lamp remains illuminated when the floor console compartment lid is closed. The BCM turns the lamp off after the ignition is switched off to prevent battery rundown. This PI is to inform dealers of the change in the lamp and operation of the lamp following repairs.

PIC6629G

This PI is to instruct dealer on diagnostic procedures that need to be completed prior to replacing a radio or IPC display

PIT5909D

This Preliminary information communicates that it is normal for the tailgate to drop faster than it used to after the GM Accessory Kicker Audio System is installed.

Manufacturers file copies of the bulletins they send to dealers with NHTSA. These often describe diagnostic or repair procedures for a known condition. They are not recalls: repairs described in a bulletin are usually only free if the vehicle is still under warranty or the manufacturer has extended coverage.
