Watch and the shortlist are kept with a free account, on every device. Your watch list. NHTSA’s recall lookup is on nhtsa.gov.
The short answer
From NHTSA’s files, copied Oct 19, 2026.
- 2 recalls naming it in NHTSA’s file (needs attention)
- Don’t drive it or park it outside: NHTSA’s advice, for one of its recalls (needs attention)
- 1 owner complaint to NHTSA
- Not rated in NHTSA’s crash tests
A recall covers the vehicles it names, by build date where NHTSA gives one. Your VIN says which are open on yours.
Is your vehicle in one of these recalls?
No public file says which recalls are still open on one vehicle. NHTSA’s lookup does, from its VIN.
The VIN goes to NHTSA, never to Hearth Record.
What recalls name it?
2 recalls for the 2019 Chevrolet 6500 in NHTSA’s file, newest first. Each covers the vehicles it names; your VIN says if yours is one.
NHTSA advises some owners not to drive it, or to park it outside: see below.

What the record doesn’t say
- Which recalls are still open on one vehicle: only NHTSA’s lookup, with its VIN, says that.
- How serious each complaint was, or whether it was confirmed: complaints aren’t findings.
Hearth Record wrote these lines.
