2013 Chevrolet Silverado 3500

The 2013 Chevrolet Silverado 3500 has 4 recalls, the most serious being a Takata airbag inflator that can explode and send metal fragments into the cabin, posing a risk of serious injury or death.

This airbag defect affects the front passenger side and applies to vehicles sold or registered in high-humidity states and territories, including Alabama, California, Florida, Hawaii, Texas, and others. Prior repair attempts did not fully resolve the issue, which is why multiple recall campaigns exist for the same underlying problem. On the fuel system side, trucks equipped with dual fuel tanks have a low fuel level sensor in the front tank that can stick, causing the rear tank to overfill the front tank. The resulting pressure buildup can cause the front tank to expand and contact the driveshaft, potentially punching a hole in the tank and creating a fuel leak. There is also a recall covering certain fire extinguishers that may fail to discharge properly, leaving occupants without a working extinguisher if a fire breaks out.
