NHTSA campaign 23V786000 ↗What owners report
The top complaint categories owners submitted to NHTSA, by count. Bars show each category's size relative to this model's largest category.
Complaints are unverified consumer reports, not confirmed defects. One complaint can span multiple categories, so percentages are of the 41 total and may add up to more than 100%.
Complaints by model year
Raw counts — older model years have had more time on the road to accumulate reports. These are unverified consumer reports.
What this means
Every mainstream EV on the road carries recalls on its NHTSA file — a recall is the system working: a known issue gets documented and, almost always, fixed for free.
What actually matters is whether the remedies have shipped and whether NHTSA still has open questions. For the Chevrolet Silverado EV, all 7 recalls on file have a remedy available, and no NHTSA investigations are currently open.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Chevrolet Silverado EV reliable?
"Reliability" is measured differently by different sources, and NHTSA doesn't publish a reliability score. What its public file — the basis for this page — shows for the Chevrolet Silverado EV is 7 recalls, all with a remedy available, no open investigations, and 41 owner-submitted complaints — which are unverified reports, not confirmed defects. For predicted-reliability and owner-satisfaction verdicts, Consumer Reports and J.D. Power run large owner-survey panels; check their model pages for those ratings.
Does the Chevrolet Silverado EV have any recalls?
Yes — NHTSA lists 7 recall campaigns for the Chevrolet Silverado EV. All of them have a remedy available. The most recent was filed Feb 26, 2026 and involved Equipment / Other / Owners/service/other Manual. A recall is how a known issue gets fixed — usually free of charge — so the presence of recalls isn't the same as an unresolved problem.
Does the Chevrolet Silverado EV have battery problems?
NHTSA's file lists 0 recalls classified to the battery / high-voltage group and 3 owner complaints (unverified consumer reports) that touch the battery. Owner complaints are unverified and one complaint can span more than one category, so treat the count as a signal of what owners raise, not a defect rate.
