2025 Chevrolet Silverado EV Pedestrian Alert System Sound Volume

General Motors is recalling certain 2025 Chevrolet Silverado EV work trucks because the pedestrian alert sound system may not produce sound at sufficient volume. This increases the risk of pedestrians being unaware of an approaching vehicle.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The hazard is a product safety defect (insufficient pedestrian warning sound) that increases risk of injury to pedestrians. The source text states no illnesses or injuries have been reported; the risk is theoretical. This fits the rubric criterion for a "risk-of-harm product where injury has not yet been reported," which corresponds to score 3.

Plain-English summary

General Motors LLC is recalling certain 2025 Chevrolet Silverado EV work trucks. The pedestrian alert sound system in these vehicles may not produce sound at a sufficient volume, which fails to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 141, "Minimum Sound Requirements for Hybrid and Electric Vehicles."

A vehicle that does not produce sufficient alert sound may result in pedestrians being unaware of an approaching vehicle, increasing the risk of injury.
