Recalls that cover the shock absorber pair 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 shock absorber pair. 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 shock absorber pair a 2014–2018 Silverado takes

Shocks differ by drivetrain, by ride height, and by whether the trim carries an off-road or sport 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.
