The 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 has 3 recalls, the most serious involving a transmission control valve defect on diesel-equipped models that can cause the rear wheels to lock up while driving, raising the risk of a crash.
A separate brake system concern affects trucks where the brake pressure modulator valve assembly was replaced during vehicle assembly: mounting bolts may not be properly tightened, which allows water to get inside the unit and create an electrical short circuit that can lead to a fire. On the tailgate side, trucks equipped with power-unlatching tailgates have a gate-release switch that can short circuit from water intrusion and trigger the tailgate to pop open on its own while the vehicle is parked or moving, spilling unsecured cargo onto the road and creating a hazard for other drivers.
