Both debuted for the 2024 model year. This guide separates specific safety recalls from manufacturer service guidance; neither a recall count nor a bulletin establishes how frequently an entire model line experiences problems. As with any relatively new vehicle platform, early production has brought some problems. Recalls have addressed high-voltage battery components and electric drive units, seatbelts and exterior lighting. The campaigns below have different model-year and equipment limits, and some involve only a handful of vehicles. Here’s what owners and prospective buyers should know about Silverado EV and Sierra EV recalls, technical service bulletins and documented service concerns. Recall and service-bulletin information below comes from GM documents filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Applicability depends on the vehicle’s VIN, equipment and production history. ## Silverado EV / Sierra EV Powertrain and Battery Problems ![]() 2025 Chevrolet Silverado EV pass-through wall (Photo by Aaron Turpen) The following recalls concern high-voltage batteries and electric drive units. They do not apply to every Silverado EV or Sierra EV; use a VIN check to establish whether a particular truck is included. **Unsecured High-Voltage Battery Component (26V-494):** Certain 2026 Silverado EV and Sierra EV trucks may have an internal battery-module component that is not fully secured. Movement can damage the battery and increase fire risk. [GM’s September 2026 amended filing]() identifies four Silverado EVs and one Sierra EV within an 11-vehicle campaign spanning five models. Dealers replace affected high-voltage batteries. **Rear Drive-Unit Wiring (24V-320):** Certain 2024 Silverado EV and Sierra EV trucks may have insufficient insulation on electric-motor wires in the rear drive unit, allowing wires to contact one another and interrupt propulsion. Dealers replace the rear drive unit free of charge. [The original campaign]() covered only 10 vehicles across five GM models, not 10 Silverado/Sierra trucks alone. ## Other Recalls for the Silverado EV / Sierra EV ![]() 2026 GMC Sierra EV (Photo by Aaron Turpen) The following are selected additional recalls for the Silverado EV and Sierra EV, identified by their NHTSA campaign numbers. Model-year and equipment restrictions matter. This is not an exhaustive VIN-specific recall list. **Steel-Wheel Cracking (26V-496):** This campaign covers certain 2026 Silverado EVs with steel road wheels and/or steel spare wheels, and certain 2026 Sierra EVs with steel spare wheels. Cracks at the wheel-disc vent holes can progress to separation and impaired steering. [The filing]() identifies 952 vehicles: 513 Silverados and 439 Sierras. Dealers inspect suspect wheels and replace them as necessary. **Electronic Owner’s Manual Unavailable (26V-114):** Certain 2026 Silverado EV and Sierra EV trucks are included in a broader GM campaign because the radio may not have been configured to download the electronic owner’s manual during production. [Dealers reset the radio]() to facilitate the automatic download, free of charge. **ESC Warning-Light Software (25V-594):** Certain 2026 Silverado EV and Sierra EV trucks may fail to illuminate the electronic stability-control malfunction indicator on the next key cycle after an ESC malfunction. [The campaign]() covers 1,191 trucks. The remedy is updated electronic brake-control-module software, installed by a dealer or through an applicable over-the-air update. **Rear-Center Seatbelt Attachment (25V-015):** Five 2024 Silverado EV and 2024-2025 Sierra EV trucks were recalled for a rear-center seatbelt attachment bolt that may not have been tightened correctly. [GM said all five were held in dealer inventory]() when the recall was announced. Dealers tighten the bolt to specification. **Insufficient Pedestrian-Warning Sound (24V-937):** Certain 2025 Silverado EV Work Trucks may have incorrect sound-system software calibration and fail to produce the required exterior sound volume while stationary. [This 46-vehicle campaign]() calls for a dealer update to the body control module software. **Front Turn-Signal Visibility (24V-755):** Certain 2024 Sierra EVs have front turn signals and parking lamps whose brightness is too similar, potentially making the signals difficult for other road users to distinguish. [Dealers replace the headlamp multipurpose LED-driver module]() free of charge. **Rear-Center Seatbelt Bezel (24V-087):** Certain 2024 Silverado EVs have an incorrect bezel that can damage or tear the rear-center seatbelt during a crash. Dealers replace the bezel. [GM’s owner notice]() says passengers should not use the rear-center seat until the recall repair is completed. **Front Seatbelt Buckle Bolts (23V-786):** Certain 2024 Silverado EVs were included in a separate campaign, alongside Hummer EV models, for left or right front seatbelt buckle attachment bolts that may not have been tightened to specification. [Dealers tighten both front buckle attachment bolts](). This is not the rear-center seatbelt recall and does not list the Sierra EV. ## Technical Service Bulletins for the Silverado EV / Sierra EV ![]() Chevrolet Silverado EV front trunk (Photo by Aaron Turpen) A TSB is a notice and instructions from the manufacturer to dealerships and technicians regarding diagnostic, repair, or replacement procedures for known issues. A TSB isn’t necessarily evidence of a widespread problem. It is manufacturer guidance for diagnosing or addressing a particular condition. Some address relatively uncommon issues, while others concern recurring customer complaints. **Front Clunk Over Rough Roads (PIT6492):** [GM’s March 2026 preliminary information]() covers 2024-2026 Silverado EV and 2026 Sierra EV trucks with FE2 suspension. It describes front clunking over rough roads or bumps. Engineering was investigating; the document directs inspection of steering, suspension, driveline and related components rather than prescribing a confirmed universal repair. **NACS Adapter Warranty Administration (24-NA-202):** This is warranty guidance, not evidence of a recurring vehicle defect. [GM’s December 2024 bulletin]() describes a one-year limited parts warranty from purchase for the original purchaser of an eligible GM NACS DC adapter. Dealers verify proof of purchase and inspect for damage or misuse before processing a covered replacement. **High-Voltage Battery Diagnostic Data (25-NA-044):** [The February 2025 bulletin]() includes 2024-2025 Silverado EV and Sierra EV trucks. It instructs qualified technicians to retrieve battery data through SPS2 before diagnosis, programming, code clearing or resets when investigating relevant high-voltage battery concerns. It is diagnostic guidance, not a blanket instruction to replace a battery or evidence of a particular failure rate. **Turn-Signal Camera View (PIT6366B):** For 2026 Silverado EV and Sierra EV trucks, [GM directs technicians]() first to verify that the vehicle has TRG Trailer Camera Provisions; vehicles without that equipment do not have this feature. If an equipped truck’s view does not work without a trailer connected, the bulletin directs radio reprogramming using the applicable latest 25-NA-021 instructions. ## Other Documented Electronic Concerns ![]() Front 3/4 view of the 2026 GMC Sierra EV AT4 in Summit White in a desert environment. These manufacturer documents identify additional electronic concerns under specified conditions. They do not measure how commonly the problems occur, and a technician should confirm applicability before choosing a repair. **Gateway-Module Warnings After Low Voltage (PIT6512A):** [GM’s August 2026 preliminary information]() includes 2024-2026 Silverado EV and Sierra EV trucks. A software anomaly can cause P0604/P0607 gateway-module codes after a low-voltage event. GM describes an interim dealer reset procedure and reserves module replacement for specified cases where the codes return. The bulletin does not establish a cold-weather temperature threshold or a failure rate. **No-Start or Communication Problems Following an Interrupted Update (PIT5985K):** [This January 2026 diagnostic bulletin]() includes 2024-2026 Silverado EV WT/RST and Sierra Denali EV trucks. It describes conditions that can follow CAN-bus issues, a failed over-the-air update or certain voltage events. Technicians diagnose module communication and may attempt software recovery. It does not mean every failed download disables a vehicle, or establish how commonly this happens. ## How To Check For Recalls On Your Chevrolet or GMC Truck ![]() NHTSA Recall Search page (Image via NHTSA.gov) The easiest way to check for current recalls that may affect your Silverado EV or Sierra EV is to visit the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) [Recalls page]() and enter your license plate or 17-digit vehicle identification number (VIN) to run a search. You can also do this at the [GM Recall & Warranty Center](). ## Related vehicle coverage - [2024 Chevrolet Silverado EV]() - [2024 GMC Sierra EV]() - [2025 Chevrolet Silverado EV]() - [2025 GMC Sierra
