Absence of Warning Chimes/FMVSS 114, 208

NHTSA #14V301000 · Electrical System — Software · NHTSA notice

Reported June 6, 2014 · General Motors LLC

Potentially affected: 57,512 vehicles

Repair completion: 87.39% (latest rate the manufacturer reported to NHTSA; dataset updated November 3, 2026)

Manufacturer campaign 14315 · Owners notified July 2, 2014 · Vehicles built October 8, 2013 – April 28, 2014 (per NHTSA)

Defect description

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."

Safety consequence

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.

Manufacturer remedy

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.

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

Fuse Block may come Loose and Result in a Fire

NHTSA #14V265000 · Electrical System — Wiring — Fuses and Circuit Breakers · NHTSA notice

Reported May 20, 2014 · General Motors LLC

Potentially affected: 58 vehicles

Repair completion: 89.66% (latest rate the manufacturer reported to NHTSA; dataset updated November 3, 2026)

Manufacturer campaign 14208 · Owners notified July 30, 2014 · Vehicles built January 8, 2014 – February 27, 2014 (per NHTSA)

Defect description

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.

Safety consequence

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

Manufacturer remedy

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.

ODI #10839033

Incident: February 29, 2016 · Filed: February 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 IS NOT AN HID LIGHT AND IT IS NOT BRIGHT ENOUGH FOR THE PROJECTOR PATTERN. THIS IS OF GREAT CONCERN DUE TO THE LACK OF VISIBILITY WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT. SECOND ISSUE - TURN SIGNALS AS VIEWED FROM THE VEHICLE COMING STRAIGHT ON. I HAVE NOTICED LOOKING AT OTHER CHEVROLET SILVERADO'S THAT WHEN VIEWING THE TRUCK FROM THE FRONT, YOU CAN NOT SEE IF THE TURN SIGNALS ARE ON. DUE TO CHROME ON THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE AND THE HEADLIGHT - DRL - YOU CAN NOT SEE THE BLINKING TURN SIGNAL FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. SO, SOMEONE COULD EASILY TURN IN FRONT OF OR NOT SEE THE TRUCK IS TURNING DUE TO THE INABILITY TO SEE THE TURN SIGNAL FROM THE FRONT.

ODI #10745053

Incident: July 28, 2015 · Filed: July 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. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT LOOSING THE ABILITY TO CONTROL/STEER THE VEHICLE IF THE UNIDENTIFIED ISSUE IS NOT DISCOVERED OR RESOLVED BY CHEVY. I PROPOSE THAT DEFECTIVE PARTS,OR TIRES HAVE BEEN USED ON THE VEHICLE WHEN BUILT AND THEY ARE FAILING. SINCERELY THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE PULLED THE RIGHT. UPDATED 10/15/15*JB *TR

Incident: December 6, 2014 · Filed: December 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 RECEPTION IS TERRIBLE. FM RADIO LOOSES SIGNAL STRENGTH AND SOUNDS LIKE YOU'RE IN A CAVE. *TR

Incident: November 1, 2014 · Filed: November 13, 2014

2500 HD TRUCK IS EQUIPPED WITH OPTIONAL OEM TOWING/CAMPER SIDE VIEW MIRRORS EQUIPPED WITH RED TURN SIGNALS EMBEDDED IN MIRROR GLASS. RED TURN SIGNAL LED'S IMPAIR VISION AT NIGHT, AND SHINE DIRECTLY INTO DRIVERS EYES, MAKING IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO SEE OUTSIDE VEHICLE IN DIRECTION OF TURN. THE TURN SIGNAL LED'S ARE MANUFACTURED WITHOUT ANY SORT OF SHIELDING COATING IN MIRROR GLASS WHICH WOULD REDUCE THE BRIGHTNESS OF THE LED'S AS IS FOUND IN MOST OTHER INTEGRATED SIDE VIEW MIRROR TURN SIGNALS. *TR
