ANALYSISHow safe is the 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 2500?
A notable absence of complete crash test data for the 2022 Silverado 2500 makes direct safety comparisons challenging against later model years. The federal Safety Index, available for the 2024, 2025, and 2026 models, cannot be computed for this specific year due to these gaps. Recalls and owner complaints for the 2022 Silverado 2500 place it in the Heavy burden band. Three recalls were issued, with the most critical involving a potential fire risk from the brake assist system, prompting GM to advise owners not to park indoors. A separate recall addressed issues with the tailgate latch, raising concerns about cargo security. The 89 consumer complaints filed predominantly cited electrical system problems, with 27 individual reports. This electrical complaint trend may be linked to the transmission software recall, suggesting a common origin in control module vulnerabilities.
