GM is recalling approximately 38,048 model-year 2017-2018 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 and 3500 and GMC Sierra 2500 and 3500 truck due to seat belt torsion bar issues.

Certain 2020 model-year Chevrolet Silverado 2500 and 3500 and GMC Sierra 2500 and 3500 vehicles are being recalled due to hood-latch striker wires that may not have been heat-treated properly, possibly causing them to fracture.
With a max tow rating of 35,500 lbs., the 2020 Sierra 2500/3500 diesel provides 52% more towing capability than its previous model year.
