2019-11-21Fuel system, gasoline · delivery · fuel pump — Over-pressurization can crack the fuel pump and cause leaks, increasing the risk of a fire in the presence of an ignition source. 19V837000
2019-12-12Electrical system · 12v/24v/48v battery · cables — An intermittent electrical connection between the B+ battery cable and the alternator could cause the vehicle to stall, increasing the risk of a crash. The intermittent connection could also lead to electrical arcing, which could generate sufficient heat to damage surrounding material, increasing t 19V888000
2020-02-27Service brakes, hydraulic · foundation components · disc · caliper — Broken caliper bolts can reduce brake performance or interfere with wheel rotation and increase the risk of a crash. 20V116000

Notes and sources

Fuel economy: Natural Resources Canada's combined rating for the Silverado, 11.1 L/100 km (21.2 mpg, US gallons). The NRCan file is dated 2026-09-15, the Last-Modified sent by the server with nrcan_2015-2024.csv.↩
CO₂: NRCan's tailpipe rating for the car driven as rated on the test cycle — 262 g/km, or 422 g/mi.↩
Fuel cost: an estimate — 15,000 km a year at 11.1 L/100 km, priced at C$1.738 per litre, Statistics Canada's Canada-wide average for regular unleaded at self-service stations, August 2026 (Table 18-10-0001-01). Five years: C$14,468. The record carries US$10,562 at 0.73 (rate of 2026-09-13). No publisher states this figure.↩
Power: 310 hp is the rated figure, from NHTSA's CAFE market data. NHTSA is the US regulator.↩
Crash rating: NHTSA rated vehicles under this nameplate, but the ratings differ between the configurations it tested and none of them is this car's, so no rating is stated.↩
Recall campaigns: NHTSA's count for this nameplate (SILVERADO 1500), as of 2026-09-10 — a US register. Each is repaired free of charge by dealers.↩
Complaints per 10,000 built: computed here from NHTSA's complaint count for the Silverado nameplate (643, of which 18 describe a crash, fire, injury or death) and the 369,985 vehicles NHTSA's own early-warning production reports place on it (2026 Q1). US data. No publisher states the rate itself.↩
Kerb weight: not published. NHTSA's CAFE market data alone states a curb weight for this car, and another source's figure for this nameplate could not be attributed to this car.↩
Warranty: 3 years or 60,000 km, from Chevrolet's published 2020 warranty statement, compiled into carstandings.com's warranty table.↩
Registrations: 11,624 Silverados of this model year on New York's roads, from the NY DMV registration file as of 2026-09-02.↩
This car is measured on the petrol scale: litres per 100 km, the tailpipe CO₂ rating and whole-car horsepower. MPGe and charge-weighted CO₂ are electric-scale quantities and do not apply to it.↩
Price: no free, resellable source publishes a price for any 2020 car sold in Canada, so none is shown for any car in this market.↩
