Reliability Overview
The 2019-2025 Silverado 1500 launched on GM's T1XX platform alongside the redesigned Tahoe, Suburban, and GMC Yukon family. Across seven model years, NHTSA has logged 4,138 owner complaints, 31 recall campaigns, and 45 fire reports. The record is concentrated rather than uniform: one engine drives more than 40 percent of the complaint count, and one recent connecting-rod recall complicates the alternative.
The 5.3L V8 with Dynamic Fuel Management (the L84) accounts for 1,765 of the 4,138 complaints, about three-quarters as many as the other powertrains combined. Transmission failures lead its weakness list at 598 reports, engine problems follow at 539, and electrical complaints add 381. The 2.7L turbo four (431 complaints) and the 3.0L Duramax diesel (393 complaints across the original LM2 and the LZ0 update that replaced it in 2023) follow.
The 6.2L V8 (L87) has 1,073 complaints and scores 1.3, on 608 powertrain complaints from an estimated 146,000 trucks, against 5.4 for the 5.3L V8; its record was complicated in April 2025 by NHTSA campaign 25V274. GM recalled 2021-2024 trucks with the 6.2 for connecting rod and crankshaft manufacturing defects that could cause engine damage and failure, a campaign that also pulled in the Tahoe, Suburban, Yukon, and Escalade siblings. Diesel-equipped trucks have their own pair: 24V797 in October 2024 for a transmission control valve that could lock the rear wheels under load, then a re-do (26V083) in February 2026 for vehicles repaired incorrectly the first time. 2019 trucks were also hit with two electronic-brake-module software recalls, the first of which could disable stability control and antilock brakes without warning lights.
The Silverado EV has 40 complaints across its 2024-2025 launch years. The early data is thin, and the EV inherits the platform-wide Ultium recall stack that has hit the Hummer EV, Blazer EV, and Lyriq alongside it.
For gas Silverado shoppers, the cleanest visible option is the 4.3L V6 in its SIDI configuration: 135 complaints across 2019-2021 model years. Buyers willing to forgo V8 power have the strongest record among the gas options. The 5.3L L84 is the most common. The 6.2L L87 was the second-rank alternative until the April 2025 connecting-rod recall complicated it. Per truck built, the 2.7L turbo four and the 5.3L V8 have drawn about half the powertrain complaints of the generation's other engines, and the 3.0L diesel about 70% more. The L8T 6.6L gasoline V8 and the LC9 flex-fuel 5.3L appear in single-digit complaint counts and live below the 10-complaint visibility threshold on this page, with too little volume to support a buyer recommendation.

Sample complaint excerpts
Electric Propulsion
- [2024] While operating the vehicle, the front electric drive motor suffered a failure, triggering reduced propulsion warnings and rendering the primary electric powertrain inoperable. The vehicle was towed to an authorized GM dealership service center, where the defect was confirmed. To replace the failed front drive unit, technicians had to drop the front subframe cradle and completely dismantle the fr
- [2024] The front trunk latch mechanism repeatedly fails. When this occurs, the vehicle believes the trunk is open and will not let you drive in normal mode. It forces you to proceed in limp mode which is dangerous. The 12v battery has to be reset to have the sensor redetect the close latch. Reports from multiple forum sources show this to be a widespread problem and currently dealer are replacing with th
- [2024] While in traffic over 45 miles per hour, the vehicle placed itself into a hazard mode due to the electric vehicle propulsion system. This happened so fast and the deceleration rate was so quick that it risked a rear end collision. This is the second time this has happened and both were following a heavy rain storm. I drove through a modest puddle that did not even submerge half of the tire wall
Charging System
- [2024] When charging my Silverado EV at Level 3 DC Fast chargers it is not charging at the same Voltage / Power as it has been in the past at the same stations (roughly half the power). I have taken it to the service center for diagnostics but they were unable to isolate the component that caused this problem, only reproduce the problem. Further details below.

Buyer's Guide
Among gasoline engines in this generation, the 4.3L V6 in SIDI configuration is the least-troubled engine the data covers in volume: 135 complaints, 2019-2021 model years only. Buyers willing to forgo V8 power have the cleanest record among the gas options. For shoppers committed to V8 power, the 5.3L L84 has drawn far fewer powertrain complaints per truck built than the 6.2L L87. The April 2025 connecting-rod recall (NHTSA 25V274) applies to 2021-2024 6.2L trucks and the long-term fallout is still settling. The Silverado EV is too new to assess for service-life reliability beyond its first two model years.
Before buying any 5.3L L84 or 6.2L L87 Silverado, confirm GM has completed all open recalls via the NHTSA VIN tool. For 6.2L V8 trucks in the 2021-2024 range, verify the connecting-rod inspection or replacement under 25V274 has been completed and request the dealer's repair documentation. For diesel trucks in 2020-2022 model years, check that both the 24V797 transmission control valve recall AND its 26V083 re-do are closed. 2019 trucks should have both electronic-brake-module software recalls (19V889 and 20V055) cleared, and 2019-2020 trucks the seat-belt-pretensioner carpet ignition campaign (19V814).
On the used market, 2019-2020 trucks carry the largest discount but also the deepest set of corrective recalls. A 2021 truck with the 4.3L V6 and verified recall completion is the most defensible used-market combination among the gas options the data shows clearly. If a 6.2L L87 truck in the 2021-2024 window is the only available option, the seller should have the 25V274 paperwork in hand before any money changes hands.
What to check on a used 2019-2025 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
On a used 2019-2025 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, the systems with the most NHTSA owner complaints are the engine (1,782), the transmission and drivetrain (1,212) and the electrical system (756). Each one has an inspection step below, with counts as of 2026-10-12. A complaint is an owner report, not a confirmed defect, and counts rise with sales.
