The vehicle experiences intermittent 1-to-2-second total audio dropouts across all stereo sources, including the turn signals, radio and Apple CarPlay. Because the vehicle generates and routes audible safety alerts through the infotainment module and audio amplifier, the audible turn signal indicator (blinker clicking sound) and critical driver safety chimes (forward collision alert, backup park assist, and seatbelt warnings) fail to sound during these cutouts. The infotainment system is already running software build W231E-Y181.3.2-SIHM22B-499.3 231 release-keys, and the intermittent loss of turn signal and safety chimes persists. Per GM Bulletin PIT6406, dealerships are instructed not to replace the radio or amplifier while GM Engineering investigates, leaving the vehicle with an unresolved intermittent failure of audible safety indicators.

Defect investigations
Loss of motive power due to engine failure post recall remedy
On January 16, 2026, the Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened Recall Query RQ26001. This investigation was opened to assess the remedy effectiveness of Recall 25V‑274. ODI has received complaints alleging engine failure in vehicles after the recall remedy had been completed, whether that remedy involved an oil viscosity change or a complete engine replacement. General Motors (GM) issued Recall 25V‑274 to address concerns of engine failure in the L87 engines produced between March 1, 2021 and May 31, 2024. GM cited the root cause as a supplier manufacturing and quality issue. GMâs recall remedy for Recall 25V‑274 consisted of two different repairs, either an oil viscosity change or an engine replacement, based on the results of the remedy inspection procedure. ODI continues to receive reports of engine failures after the completion of the recall remedy. To date, ODI has received 499 complaints alleging post-remedy engine failure in vehicles subject to Recall 25V‑274, 473 of which involved an oil viscosity change and 26 a complete engine replacement. Additionally, ODI has received 191 reports of L87 engine failures in engines produced after the production period cited in Recall 25V‑274. GM reported receiving 6,953 complaints of post-remedy engine failure. ODI is opening this Engineering Analysisto continue investigating complaints of post-remedy engine failure. ODI is expanding the scope of this Investigation to include engines produced after the production period cited in the recall.

What 2025 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Driving to work, heard a loud pop, pulled over and the truck was on fire. There were no other warnings. Insurance has deemed it a total loss and the fire inspection team is handling it. GM has been contacted and I am waiting to hear their report.
Metal shavings in oil and oil filter during routine maintenance at Hamilton Chevrolet. Needs entire engine replaced. I have been told that this is an issue with the 6.2L motor
Check engine light came truck started running rough and on low power took to dealer the code was misfire cylinder 5 they found cylinder badley scorred so the replaced the motor at 27000 miles a 6.2 in a 2025 silvarado 1500 trail boss
My Silverado is a 2025 with the 6.2 engine and recently the dealer found metal shavings in the oil which is premature engine failure. My truck is not part of the recall because it is a newer year but these engines keep blowing up theres alot of us please help with another recall for the newer years.
On July 4, 2026 while driving with my family up a two lane state road headed to the lake cruising 55mph the engine blew and locked up with no warning, no check engine light or anything causing me to almost wreck and leaving me and my family stranded in a dangerous situation for a moment. I drive out of town just about everyday for work so my truck is set on cruise control most days through the week making multiple long distance trips a month so the mileage racked up fast for me causing me to go right over my warranty when this happened so I can’t get any help with it. Even knowing the issue right now with the 6.2 they will do nothing.

The contact owns a 2025 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while driving 45 MPH, the vehicle lost automotive power.

On XXX at ~3:00 p.m., I was driving my 2025 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 High Country (VIN [XXX]) in stop-and-go highway traffic with Super Cruise engaged. The vehicle ahead was a truck towing a low, empty flatbed trailer. My truck came to a complete stop behind the trailer. While stopped, with no accelerator input from me, the vehicle accelerated forward on its own and struck the rear of the flatbed before I could intervene. My foot was not on the accelerator. It appears the forward sensors may not have detected the low, unloaded trailer as an obstacle, so when the system resumed from the stop it accelerated into it. No injuries. The other vehicle had a steel rear plate and was undamaged; damage to my truck is estimated at $3,549.68. A vehicle that accelerates on its own from a complete stop into a stationary object ahead is a serious hazard. This was low-speed property damage only, but the same failure at higher speed, or with a pedestrian, cyclist, or child ahead, could cause death. I have an infant, and the thought of this happening with my child aboard is alarming. I am concerned that low-profile or unloaded trailers may not be reliably detected by the forward sensing system — a systemic limitation, not a one-time glitch. I ask the federal safety agency to review whether other GM/Super Cruise vehicles have experienced unintended acceleration from a stop or failure to detect low trailers. I notified GM (Chevrolet claim #XXX) and requested the vehicle's Event Data Recorder and Super Cruise/OnStar telematics be preserved. I am filing this so there is an independent safety record.

Brakes failed going into busy intersection with coming traffic. It can be available for inspection. Applied the brakes to stop at stop sign. Truck didn’t slow down - brakes went hard and my truck kept going. Escaped collision of oncoming vehicles going 55mph. Turned the truck a sharp left landing in first lane of traffic and quickly put into reverse. Going into the dealership Monday morning to have it checked. Happed too fast to notice any warning lamps etc..
