History Behind the Recall
General Motors (GM) has issued a safety recall affecting more than 3,400 Chevrolet Silverado pickup trucks after discovering that some vehicles were delivered without an owner’s manual, creating a potential safety compliance issue related to child restraint systems.
According to documents filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the affected trucks fail to meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 225, which requires manufacturers to provide instructions for the proper use of child safety seat anchorage systems. Without this information, owners may not know how to correctly install child restraints, increasing the risk of injury in the event of a crash.
NHTSA warned that the absence of an owner’s manual can directly impact occupant safety, particularly for children.
Which Vehicles Are Affected
The recall applies to approximately 3,408 vehicles, including:
- 2026 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
- 2026 Chevrolet Silverado 2500
- 2026 Chevrolet Silverado 3500
All affected vehicles were sold in the United States. GM confirmed that the issue occurred during production and delivery, resulting in trucks being shipped without the required owner documentation.
VIN lookup became available on November 25, 2025, allowing owners to confirm whether their vehicle is included in the recall.
What Owners Need to Do Next
GM will provide the missing owner’s manual free of charge. Owner notification letters are scheduled to be mailed beginning January 12, 2026.
Owners with questions or concerns can contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020 or visit nhtsa.gov/recalls checking their vehicle’s recall status.
While no injuries or crashes have been reported in connection with the issue, NHTSA emphasizes that proper access to safety instructions is critical for compliance and occupant protection.
How Chevrolet Owners Can Take Back Control
While this recall has been communicated to owners, many continue to be unhappy with the solutions provided by automakers. These problems have the potential to escalate into further action, underlining the importance of protecting consumer rights.
