Chevy Silverado HD, GMC Sierra HD Recalled for Incorrect Tire Pressure, Check Your VIN

If you own a 2024-2025 Chevy Silverado 2500 or GMC Sierra 2500 with the enhanced towing option and 20-inch accessory wheels, GM wants to check your truck. The tire information label may list the wrong rear tire pressure, which can mask underinflated tires and increase crash risk while towing. Only eight vehicles are affected nationwide, but if yours is one of them, the fix is free. Here’s how to check.

Why GM Is Recalling These Trucks

A technical specialist flagged the issue through GM’s internal Speak Up for Safety program on May 14, 2026. GM opened an investigation on June 2 and traced the problem to trucks built with a specific combination: the enhanced towing package paired with 20-inch accessory wheels. On those trucks, the tire information label states a rear tire pressure of 70 psi instead of the correct 80 psi. That’s not a small rounding difference — a truck set up for heavy towing needs the higher pressure to carry the load safely, and running 10 psi low on the rear axle while towing can affect how the tires perform under weight.

The bigger problem is what that error does to your dashboard warnings. Because the tire pressure monitoring system reads against the incorrect label information, it may not display a low-pressure alert even when the tires actually are underinflated. In other words, the one system built to catch this exact problem is the one telling you everything’s fine.

Is Your Truck Part of This Recall?

Here’s exactly how to know if this recall includes you.

• 2024-2025 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 trucks with the enhanced towing option and 20-inch accessory tire/wheel package
• 2024-2025 GMC Sierra 2500 trucks with the same enhanced towing and 20-inch accessory wheel combination
• Only 8 vehicles nationwide are confirmed affected — standard factory wheel setups and other trim configurations are not part of this recall
• Silverado and Sierra HD trucks without the 20-inch accessory wheel package are not included

Silverado HD / Sierra HD Recall — Nationwide Coverage

This is a federal safety recall issued through NHTSA, so it applies no matter what state you’re in. With only eight vehicles affected, the fastest way to know for certain is to check your VIN directly rather than guess based on trim level.

What Should You Do Right Now?

1. Look up your VIN through NHTSA’s recall lookup tool at nhtsa.gov, or ask your dealer to check it for you.
2. If your truck is affected, don’t wait for the mailed notice — call your dealer now to schedule the free repair.
3. Ask the dealer to inspect the vehicle, reflash the engine control module, apply the corrected tire-label overlay, inflate the tires to the correct pressure, and perform a TPMS relearn.
4. In the meantime, manually check your rear tire pressure with a gauge rather than relying on the dashboard warning, especially before towing.
5. Contact Chevrolet customer service at 800-222-1020 or GMC customer service at 800-462-8782 with questions.
6. Owner notification letters go out September 28, 2026 — if you haven’t heard from GM by then and believe your truck qualifies, call your dealer directly.

Takes about 10 minutes to check your VIN — worth doing before your next towing trip if you drive one of these trucks.

What Else Changed Because of This Recall

GM has discontinued the 20-inch accessory wheel package for vehicles ordered with enhanced towing and 18-inch factory wheels going forward, and revised its accessory wheel usage charts and software support as of August 7, 2026. That doesn’t affect owners of the eight already-built trucks directly, but it shows GM closed off the configuration that caused the mislabeling rather than just patching the affected units.

Silverado HD / Sierra HD Tire Pressure Recall — Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my Silverado HD or Sierra HD is part of this recall? 

Enter your VIN into NHTSA’s recall lookup tool or ask your GM dealer to check. Only 2024-2025 Silverado 2500 and Sierra 2500 trucks with both the enhanced towing option and 20-inch accessory wheels are affected, and only eight vehicles nationwide match that combination.

What’s the actual safety risk with this recall?

 The tire label may show 70 psi for the rear tires instead of the correct 80 psi. Underinflated tires can reduce performance under heavy towing loads, and because the tire pressure monitoring system reads off the same incorrect information, it may not warn you that pressure is low.

Has this tire pressure issue caused any accidents? 

GM stated it is not aware of any field incidents connected to this condition as of the recall filing.

Is the repair free?

 Yes. Dealers will inspect the vehicle, update the engine control module software, apply a corrected tire label, inflate the tires properly, and perform a TPMS relearn at no cost to the owner.

When will I get a notice if my truck is affected? 

GM expects to mail owner notification letters by September 28, 2026. VINs became searchable on NHTSA.gov starting August 13, 2026, so you don’t have to wait for the letter to check.

Can I still order a Silverado HD or Sierra HD with 20-inch accessory wheels? 

GM discontinued the 20-inch accessory wheel package for trucks ordered with enhanced towing and 18-inch factory wheels, and updated its accessory wheel charts and software support as of August 7, 2026.
