What Safety Recalls Affect the 2023 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Brake and Lighting Modules?
The 2023 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 is affected by two software-related safety recalls. NHTSA recall 24V674 covers the Electronic Brake Control Module. On affected trucks, the instrument cluster may fail to warn the driver that brake fluid has dropped below the required level. NHTSA recall 22V903 covers the Body Control Module, where the daytime running lamps may not switch off when the headlamps are turned on.
The Three Open Recalls on the 2023 Silverado 1500
NHTSA Recall 24V674 — Electronic Brake Control Module
Under NHTSA recall 24V674 (GM campaign N242447990), the brake module data file on certain 2023 Silverado trucks does not meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 135. That standard requires a visual alert on the instrument cluster when brake fluid falls below the specified level. Without the warning, a driver could keep driving the truck without knowing fluid is low. NHTSA lists 59,175 2023 Silverado 1500 trucks in this campaign.
NHTSA Recall 22V903 — Body Control Module
The lighting recall, NHTSA recall 22V903 (GM campaign N222386380), involves the Body Control Module and noncompliance with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 108. On affected trucks, the daytime running lamps fail to deactivate when the main headlamps come on, which can create excess glare for oncoming traffic.
NHTSA Recall 25V274 — 6.2L V8 Engine
A third and separate campaign, NHTSA recall 25V274 (GM campaign N252494001), covers 2021 through 2024 Silverado 1500 trucks built with the 6.2-liter V8 (RPO L87). On those trucks, the connecting rod or crankshaft may have manufacturing defects that can lead to engine damage or failure. This recall cannot be completed over the air. It requires a dealer inspection. If you are concerned about an open campaign on your truck, call our service department at 951-643-4590.

| NHTSA 22V903 | N222386380 | 2020–2023 | Body Control Module — daytime running lamps may not deactivate as required by FMVSS 108 | Over-the-air update or dealer reprogramming |

Can 2023 Chevy Silverado Recall Updates Be Completed Over-the-Air or at the Dealer?
Both software recalls can be delivered as over-the-air (OTA) updates on compatible vehicles, with no service visit needed. That covers the Electronic Brake Control Module fix and the Body Control Module lighting patch. Owners can also have any certified Chevrolet service center do the reprogramming in person. Either route is free.
How an Over-the-Air Update Installs
Wireless installation relies on the truck’s built-in cellular connection. The calibration package downloads in the background. The center touchscreen then prompts the driver to accept the installation. Per GM’s technician guidance, the truck must be parked and not in motion for the install to run. The battery state of charge must also be above 70 percent before the install prompt appears.
When a Dealer Visit Is Required
An OTA update can be declined, interrupted, or unavailable because of weak signal. In those cases the module has to be reprogrammed at a dealership. Technicians connect to the truck’s Data Link Connector and flash the updated software using GM diagnostic equipment.
The engine recall, 25V274, is dealer-only. Technicians inspect the engine and repair or replace it as needed. Trucks that pass inspection get a higher-viscosity 0W-40 oil fill, a new oil fill cap, a new oil filter, and an owner’s manual insert. There is an open question about that remedy. In August 2026, NHTSA opened an engineering analysis, EA26005, to evaluate how well it has worked. The agency had received reports of engine failures on trucks where the recall work was already done. So if your truck has had the 25V274 repair and you notice a change in engine behavior, have it looked at. Do not assume the campaign closed the issue.
Over-the-Air Update vs. Dealer Visit: What Applies to Your Truck
| Factor | Over-the-Air Update | Dealer Visit |
|---|---|---|
| Applies to | 24V674 and 22V903 software recalls, on compatible vehicles | All three recalls, and the only route for 25V274 |
| Requirements | Truck parked and not in motion, battery state of charge above 70 percent | A scheduled service appointment |
| Where it happens | Wherever the truck is parked | Riverside Chevrolet service center |
| Cost to owner | Free | Free |

How Do You Check for Active Recalls on Your 2023 Silverado 1500?
You can check for open safety recalls on a 2023 Chevy Silverado 1500 by entering the truck’s 17-character Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) into the official NHTSA recall lookup tool or the Chevrolet Owner Center.
Windshield
Through the lower driver-side corner of the windshield, read from outside the truck.
Door Jamb Label
On the vehicle certification label in the driver-side door jamb (B-pillar).
Your Paperwork
On your state vehicle registration or auto insurance paperwork.
The NHTSA lookup returns unrepaired safety recalls tied to that VIN. Recalls that have already been repaired will not appear. Neither will non-safety customer satisfaction campaigns. NHTSA recommends checking your VIN twice a year. That way software updates and inspections get handled before they affect reliability.
