6 recalls across 9 model years
The Chevrolet 5500HD has 6 recalls covering 2017 through 2023 model years, with the most serious being a brake pressure sensor on 2019-2023 vehicles that can leak fluid into the brake switch, cause an electrical short, and start a fire while driving or parked.
On the braking side, 2022 models have a separate issue where a hydraulic brake line fitting may not be fully tightened, allowing brake fluid to leak out and extend stopping distances. The 2021-2022 model years have suspension and steering joint nuts that can fracture, causing steering instability and raising the risk of losing control.
Going back to 2019-2020 production, rear outer wheel lug nuts may not have been properly tightened at the factory and can loosen over time, allowing a rear wheel to separate from the vehicle. The 2017-2020 model years have rear axle U-bolt nuts that can also work loose, allowing the axle to shift out of alignment and the driveshaft to separate, which cuts power to the rear wheels and can stall the vehicle.
The 2020 model year has a front seatbelt recall affecting vehicles equipped with a dual-mode belt locking mechanism, where the belt may not properly restrain an occupant in a crash.
