Chevrolet Low Cab Forward 5500 Recalls

The Chevrolet Low Cab Forward 5500 has 3 recalls spanning 2017 through 2023, with the most serious affecting 2022-2023 models where frame extensions to 200-inch or 212-inch wheelbase were not followed by recalibration of the ABS module and, on equipped vehicles, the automatic emergency braking camera, leaving both the emergency braking and electronic stability control systems unable to function correctly.

The 2019 model year has an instrument cluster that displays odometer readings in kilometers rather than miles, which can cause owners to miscalculate service intervals and delay maintenance that affects safe operation. On 2017-2018 models, the on-board fire extinguisher can fail to function properly when needed.
