2020 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2500 Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 has 3 recalls, the most serious involving a driveshaft that can separate while driving, causing sudden loss of propulsion, and a hood latch that can fracture and allow the hood to fly open. The driveshaft issue affects certain trucks where a joint weld may not have fully bonded, and if that joint lets go, the vehicle loses forward drive without warning. The hood latch concern involves a striker wire that can crack and release the hood while underway, blocking the driver's view of the road. There is also a tire compatibility issue: on trucks equipped with a 17-inch spare tire, mounting that spare alongside 18-inch or 20-inch road tires can prevent the anti-lock braking system from independently controlling the rear wheels, reducing the system's ability to help maintain stability during hard braking.
