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 extended-wheelbase configurations where the anti-lock brake module and automatic emergency braking camera were not recalibrated after the frame was stretched, causing the automatic emergency braking and electronic stability control systems to operate incorrectly.

The 2019 model year has an odometer display that correctly measures distance but labels the reading in kilometers instead of miles, which can cause owners to misjudge when scheduled maintenance is due. Going further back, 2017-2018 models were equipped with fire extinguishers that may not function properly, reducing their usefulness if a fire breaks out.
