2013 Chevrolet Silverado 2500

The 2013 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 has 3 recalls, the most serious involving the front passenger airbag inflator, which can explode and send metal fragments into the cabin, causing serious injury or death.

This airbag defect applies to vehicles originally sold or registered in high-humidity states and territories, including Florida, Texas, California, Hawaii, and several others. In those climates, moisture can degrade the inflator over time, and the explosion risk applies both to the airbag deploying in a crash and potentially in other conditions. Because two separate recall campaigns cover this same inflator issue across slightly different model year groupings, owners should verify their specific vehicle is accounted for by checking their VIN against both filings. The third recall involves fire extinguishers installed in the vehicle as equipment. The extinguisher may fail to discharge properly when needed, leaving a driver without a functioning tool to suppress a fire.
