5 recalls across 7 model years
The Chevrolet Silverado 6500 has 5 recalls covering 2019 through 2025 model years, with the most serious being a brake pressure sensor on 2019-2024 models that can leak fluid into the brake pressure switch, cause an electrical short, and start a fire while the vehicle is driving or parked.
On the 2025 model year, the airbag sensing and diagnostic module may not have been activated during installation, meaning airbags will not deploy in a crash. On 2019-2020 models, a brake jumper wire harness installed during an earlier repair was assembled without protective tape, leaving the wires exposed to damage and potentially causing power brake assist to fail. The 2019 model year has two additional issues: an engine control module calibrated to allow speeds above the tires' 75 mph maximum rating, which can cause tire failure and loss of control, and an optional engine block heater on Duramax 6.6-liter diesel-equipped vehicles that can short-circuit and damage engine components, raising the risk of fire.
