Chevrolet Tahoe Recalls

The Chevrolet Tahoe has 42 recalls spanning 2005 through 2026, with the most serious recent issue being incorrect front wheel hub bolts on 2025–2026 models with 24-inch wheels that can loosen or break while driving, causing loss of vehicle control.

The 2025–2026 models also have a compliance recall for missing owner's manuals. On 2023–2024 models, a brake control module software fault can prevent a low brake fluid warning light from illuminating, leaving the driver unaware of reduced braking ability. The 2023 model year has a separate issue where rear suspension control arm bolts can break and cause rear wheel misalignment. On 2022–2023 vehicles, daytime running lights can fail to shut off when the headlights are on, creating glare for oncoming traffic.

The 2021 model year carries the heaviest concentration of recalls in the modern generation. On diesel-equipped 2021 models, the transmission control valve can fail and lock up the rear wheels. The 2021 driveshaft can fail internally and cause a sudden loss of drive power. Two separate fuel system issues affect 2021 vehicles: the fuel pump control module can cause intermittent stalls, and the fuel tank may be missing adhesive between tank layers, allowing fuel to leak near ignition sources. There are also multiple occupant restraint issues on 2021 models: front seat attachment bolts may not have been properly reinstalled after assembly repairs, the center front-row seat belt bracket may not be secured to the seat frame, incorrect seat belt fastening bolts may have been used throughout the cabin, third-row outboard seat belts may have been misrouted and damaged, and the second-row center seat belt latch may be trapped under trim and completely inaccessible. Third-row seat belt buckle rivets on 2021–2022 models may be deformed and fail to restrain an occupant in a crash. A software issue on 2021 vehicles can cause power steering assist to cut out at startup or while driving, and a separate software fault can cause the airbag warning light to behave inconsistently, potentially masking a real airbag problem. Incorrectly calibrated brake systems on some 2021 vehicles can compromise anti-lock braking, stability control, and trailer braking performance. Daytime running lights on 2021 models share the same glare issue seen on 2022–2023 vehicles.

On 2020–2021 models equipped with a 6.2L V8, connecting rod and crankshaft defects can cause engine failure while driving. This engine failure risk extends through 2024 on 6.2L-equipped vehicles. Diesel-equipped 2021–2024 models have a separate concern: if the fuel tank was replaced with an incorrect unit, fuel can leak in a rollover. The 2020 model year has two distinct fuel system recalls: a missing pressure regulator can allow the fuel system to over-pressurize and crack the fuel pump, and certain Continental tires fitted at the factory can develop sidewall breaks or tread separation from over-curing.

Going back to the 2015–2020 era, a driveline protection sensor fault on 4WD models with a 5.3L engine and 3.08 rear axle ratio can cause unintended braking on one rear wheel, pulling the vehicle sideways without warning. A transfer case issue affecting 2016–2020 models can lock up the front or rear wheels. Vacuum pump output on 2015
