Radiator Cooling Pack — Radiator, Fan and Thermostat for the 2014–2018 Chevrolet Silverado

What 2014–2018 Silverado owners report about the engine and engine cooling

Owners have filed 109 complaints with NHTSA, the US federal vehicle-safety regulator, that mention the radiator, coolant leaks or overheating on the 2014–2018 Chevrolet Silverado, and 36 filed under its engine and engine cooling. Those 109, by model year, as of September 18, 2026:

• 2014 Silverado: 33 complaints
• 2015 Silverado: 24 complaints
• 2016 Silverado: 13 complaints
• 2017 Silverado: 11 complaints
• 2018 Silverado: 28 complaints

NHTSA publishes complaints as owners wrote them and does not verify them, so read them as a pattern rather than a diagnosis.

A 2017 Silverado owner, NHTSA complaint 11723413: "Transmission failure at 120, 000 was replaced. Then factory thermostat went and then trickled down to the transmission. Got too hot and cooked the transmission. Come to find out it was also the radiator so that was replaced along with the thermostat and a second transmission."

A 2018 Silverado owner, NHTSA complaint 11740845: "A known radiator issue, with microcracks in radiator is producing a leak and will require replacement. There are many examples of this online for the model years 2014-2018, and are known by the manufacturer. I am having mine replaced with 95,000 miles on my truck."

Recalls that cover the radiator cooling pack on the 2014–2018 Silverado

As of September 18, 2026, NHTSA lists no recall on the 2014–2018 Chevrolet Silverado whose defect is in the radiator cooling pack. If your car has a warning light or a symptom that a recall could explain, check the VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls anyway — it takes a minute.

Which radiator cooling pack a 2014–2018 Silverado takes

Radiators differ by engine, by transmission, since an automatic's cooler often runs through the radiator, and by towing package. The 2014–2018 Chevrolet Silverado came with several powertrains, among them 4.3L V6 Automatic RWD, 5.3L V8 Automatic 4WD and 6.2L V8 Automatic 4WD. That is why we ask for the VIN, or the year, engine and trim, and confirm the part against it before you pay rather than after it arrives.
