2015 Chevrolet Silverado HD recalls

Recall 14V-820: Fuel System, Diesel

Reported Dec 24, 2014 · 56 vehicles affected · General Motors LLC

Problem: General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2015 Chevrolet Silverado HD diesel vehicles manufactured September 30, 2014, to October 21, 2014, and GMC Sierra HD diesel vehicles manufactured October 8, 2014, to October 21, 2014. In the affected vehicles, the hose clamp that secures the fuel tank vent line may not have been properly tightened during assembly.

Risk: A loose hose clamp could allow the fuel tank vent line to detach which may result in a fuel leak, increasing the risk of a fire.

Fix: GM will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and tighten the fuel tank vent line hose clamp, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on February 6, 2015. Owners may contact GM customer service at 1-800-222-1020 (Chevrolet), or 1-800-462-8782 (GMC). GM's number for this recall is 14855.

Recall 14V-339: Service Brakes, Hydraulic, Steering

Reported Jun 19, 2014 · 124,527 vehicles affected · General Motors LLC

Problem: General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 and 3500 HD vehicles manufactured October 1, 2013 to September 20, 2014, and 2015 GMC Sierra 2500 and 3500 HD vehicles manufactured September 30, 2013, to September 20, 2014. The power steering hose clamp may disconnect from the power steering pump or gear, causing a loss of power steering fluid.

Risk: A loss of power steering fluid could result in a loss of power steering assist and power brake assist, increasing the risk of a crash.

Fix: GM will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the vehicles to make sure the power steering hose clamps are properly secured, free of charge. The recall began on August 29, 2014.

Recall 14V-301: Electrical System, Seat Belts

Reported Jun 6, 2014 · 57,512 vehicles affected · General Motors LLC

Problem: General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, and 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban vehicles equipped with a base radio and an internal amplifier. The radios in the affected vehicles may become inoperative, and as a result, there would be no audible chime to notify the driver if the door is opened with the key in the ignition or no audible seat belt warning indicating the seat belts were not buckled. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) numbers 114, "Theft Protection and Rollaway Prevention," and 208, "Occupant Crash Protection."

Risk: Without an audible indicator, the driver may not be aware that the driver's door is open while the key is in the ignition, increasing the risk of a vehicle rollaway. Additionally, there would be no reminder that the driver's or front seat passenger's seat belt is not buckled, which could increase the risk of injury in a crash.

Fix: GM will notify owners, and dealers will update the radio software, free of charge. The recall began on July 2, 2014. Chevrolet owners may contact GM's customer service at 1-800-222-1020. GMC owners may contact GM's customer service at 1-800-462-8782. GM's number for this recall is 14315.

Recall 14V-265: Electrical System

Reported May 20, 2014 · 58 vehicles affected · General Motors LLC

Problem: General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2015 Chevrolet Silverado HD vehicles manufactured January 8, 2014, through February 27, 2014, and 2015 GMC Sierra HD vehicles manufactured January 9, 2014, through February 14, 2014, and equipped with a 220 Amp Generator (RPO KW5). In the affected vehicles, the retention clips that attach the fuse block to the vehicle body can become loose allowing the fuse block to move out of position. If this occurs, exposed conductors in the fuse block may contact the mounting studs or other metallic components, causing a short to ground event.

Risk: This could result in an arcing condition, and combustible materials located nearby could ignite and result in an engine compartment fire.

Fix: GM will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the fuse block to verify that it is properly secured, repairing it as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on July 30, 2014. Owners may contact GM customer service at 1-800-222-1020 (Chevrolet) or 1-800-462-8782 (GMC). GM's number for this recall is 14208.

Problem: General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2015 Chevrolet Silverado HD, and GMC Sierra HD vehicles manufactured February 11, 2014, through February 19, 2014, and equipped with diesel engines and dual fuel tanks.

Risk: A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source may result in a vehicle fire.

Recent 2015 Chevrolet Silverado HD complaints

Owner reports filed with NHTSA, as written (personal details removed). Complaints are not verified by NHTSA.

Exterior Lighting · reported Feb 29, 2016
I have a 2015 chevrolet silverado 2500 hd ltz model. This vehicle has projector headlights for the low beam that ave very inadequate when trying to see in dark nights. The light output is very dim and the cutoff pattern is low causing poor visibility to almost zero visibility on wet roads or during rain. Using the fog lights does help, but also causes oncoming drivers to flash you due to extra lights turned on. I AM really shocked as I have another vehicle with HID projector headlights and they are friendly to oncoming drivers as they are bright but the lighting pattern is low. The chevrolet…
Fuel/Propulsion System · at 3,000 miles · reported Feb 16, 2016
The contact owns a 2015 chevrolet silverado hd. While driving at various speeds, the vehicle would jolt forward when braking. The fuel level was 3/4 full during the failure. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was acknowledged as a technical service bulletin and diagnosed that the function was normal. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 3,000.
Electrical System · at 8,000 miles · reported Aug 25, 2015

Steering · at 15,372 miles · reported Jul 30, 2015
New truck, 15372 miles, no off roading or rough surface driving. Pulls to the right. Concerned about suspension/steering failure. The vehicle pulls to the right. Two chevy dealers have looked at the issue with negative results. There is no reason other than manufacturing error that would cause the problem. Both chevy dealers have reported that the tires are in good condition and one did an alignment. The alignment,I paid for,did not resolve the issue. I AM concerned because I use the vehicle to pull a travel trailer as it is designed for. Chevy,in my opinion, is not responsive to my concerns.…
Structure · at 475 miles · reported Dec 8, 2014
After having rains for almost 3 days straight in southern california, I finally got some time to clean the interior of my vehicle. Upon moving the floor mat on the passenger side, I notice the carpet was soaking wet. There is a leak somewhere near the firewall allowing water to enter the cabin on the passenger side. Long term, I AM afraid of mold and mildew accumulation as well as water affecting electronics. Front drivers seat has a lot of slop in it. Upon accelerating and braking, I can feel the front drivers seat rock forward and backward slightly. Seat makes a clunking/tapping noise. Radio…
