What can fail
Liquid can leak into the driver's power window switch, causing corrosion and high electrical resistance that may prevent the window from operating.
This page covers 5 recalls and 14 owner complaints for the 2014 Chevrolet Express.
Complaints filed for the 2014 Chevrolet Express spread across a few systems, with airbags and the fuel system drawing the most reports. On the fuel side, owners describe fuel odors while driving, fuel line leaks at or near the tank connection, and a leaking fuel pressure regulator, in at least one case, the replacement fuel line was reportedly discontinued, leaving the owner unable to find parts. The airbag complaints center on owner uncertainty about whether the vehicle contains Takata inflators, rather than describing a specific in-vehicle failure. Visibility rounds out the top reported systems, with owners noting they received notice of a repair but could not get it completed because parts were unavailable at the time of filing.

Total Complaints
By System
The 2014 Chevrolet Express has 5 recalls, the most serious affecting CNG (compressed natural gas) models, where the high-pressure fuel regulator can leak natural gas and create a fire or explosion risk near any ignition source.
A second fire risk affects Express models equipped with power windows: liquid can seep into the driver's window switch, corrode the contacts, and build enough electrical resistance to start a fire in the door panel. There is also a recall covering certain factory-installed fire extinguishers, either plastic-handle or push-button "Pindicator" types, that may fail to discharge properly when needed, leaving occupants without a functional extinguisher during an onboard fire.
On the equipment and monitoring side, certain incomplete vehicles built on a 159-inch wheelbase were shipped to final-stage manufacturers without a tire pressure monitoring system installed, meaning the driver receives no warning if a tire loses pressure and the vehicle is operated underinflated. Finally, also limited to CNG-configured vehicles, required fuel system labels do not meet the minimum text size specified by federal standards, which can interfere with proper fuel tank inspection and safe refueling procedures.
