This page covers 3 recalls and NHTSA crash-test ratings for the 2023 Chevrolet Silverado 1500.
5/5 Overall
NHTSA 5-Star Safety Rating
The 2023 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 has 3 recalls, the most serious affecting trucks with the 6.2L V8 engine, where internal engine components can fail and cause the engine to shut down without warning while driving.
The remaining two recalls involve software issues. The electronic brake control module may fail to illuminate a warning light when brake fluid drops to a low level, meaning a driver would have no dashboard indication that braking performance is already reduced. On the lighting side, the daytime running lights may stay on even after the headlights are switched on, creating glare for oncoming drivers and reducing visibility for everyone on the road.
