Are there any recalls on 2022 Chevy Silverado?

Yes — there have been recall campaigns affecting some 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 pickups. The exact recalls depend on the vehicle’s VIN and production date, and there have been multiple campaigns issued since the model year was released.


Across 2022–2024, regulators and General Motors have issued recalls covering a range of issues that could affect safety and operation. Owners should verify their specific truck’s recall status using VIN-based lookup tools from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and GM's own recall portal, then follow through with the required service at an authorized dealer.


How to check recalls for your 2022 Silverado


To check recalls for your exact vehicle, use VIN-based lookups on official sites. The steps below guide you through the process.



  • Locate your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) on the driver-side dashboard, the driver-side doorjamb label, or your vehicle registration.

  • Visit NHTSA's SaferCar.gov recall lookup and enter the VIN to pull up any open recalls.

  • Also check GM's official recall page for 2022 Silverado information to supplement the data from NHTSA.

  • If an active recall appears, GM will mail or email notification with instructions to schedule service at no charge.

  • Schedule a visit with an authorized GM dealer and bring any recall notice or documentation you have.


Recalls are VIN-specific and may require new parts or software updates; status can change if new campaigns are issued. Regularly checking ensures you stay informed about any updates.


VIN basics for recalls


Understanding that recalls are tied to your specific VIN helps you avoid assuming a recall applies to all Silverado 2022 models. Even if a relative’s truck is recalled, your VIN may not be. Regular checks are recommended as campaigns can be added after a vehicle leaves the showroom.


What to expect from recall service


If a recall is active for your Silverado, the repair will be performed at no cost by an authorized GM dealer. The typical process involves inspection, replacement or repair of the affected component, and sometimes software updates. Availability of parts can affect scheduling, and some recalls may require longer service times than others.



  • Bring your VIN and any recall notice to the dealership to speed the process.

  • The dealer will confirm the exact scope of the recall and parts needed.

  • Most recall work is completed without charge, and GM may arrange loaner vehicles in certain cases.

  • After the service, obtain written confirmation that the recall has been completed in the vehicle’s records.

  • Monitor for any follow-up notices in case additional related campaigns are issued.


In practice, owners should not delay recall service. Even seemingly minor recalls can affect safety or reliability, and official channels provide the final status and repair details.


Current recall landscape and practical tips


Recall activity evolves as GM and regulators review new data and field reports. For 2022 Silverado owners, the reliable path is to rely on VIN-specific checks and to act promptly if a recall is indicated. Always use official sources for verification and schedule with an authorized dealer to keep the vehicle up to date.


Summary


There have been recall campaigns affecting some 2022 Chevy Silverado models. The key steps are to check your specific VIN with NHTSA’s recall lookup and GM’s recall portal, and to have any active recalls repaired at no cost by an authorized dealer.
