What's wrong?
The fuse block in the 2015 Silverado Hd and Sierra Hd is the junction point for protected electrical circuits. It holds fuses and connections that route power from the 220 Amp generator and battery to vehicle systems while keeping the wiring secured to the body. Its clips are supposed to hold the block in a fixed position.
On these trucks, the retention clips that attach the fuse block to the vehicle body can loosen. When the clips let go, the fuse block shifts out of position instead of staying seated. That movement exposes conductors inside the block to the mounting studs or nearby metal parts. Contact with metal creates a short to ground, which sends current outside its intended path and creates an electrical fault.
There is no warning sign before failure. An owner should not count on a light, sound, or change in driving feel before the fuse block moves and the short occurs.
Who's affected?
The scope includes both Silverado Hd and Sierra Hd pickup trucks from the same model year, with wiring listed as the component for each.

| 2015 GMC Sierra Hd | wiring |

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific pickup truck is included.
What's the safety risk?
An improperly secured fuse block can create electrical arcing. If combustible material is nearby, that arcing can ignite it and cause an engine compartment fire. Have the fuse block inspected promptly, and stop driving if you see smoke or signs of fire. Repair will be free at any franchised Chevrolet dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2015 Chevrolet Silverado Hd or Sierra Hd is included in this recall.
- Watch for the Chevrolet owner notice, then contact a franchised Chevrolet dealer about the free fuse-block inspection.
- Ask the dealer to inspect and secure the fuse block so loose retention clips cannot let exposed conductors short against nearby metal.
- Bring the recall notice if you have it. If not, reference recall number 14V265 when you call.
- Park away from combustible materials and contact the dealer promptly if you notice electrical arcing, smoke, or a burning smell near the engine compartment.
What happens at the repair
The source remedy says GM began this recall on July 30, 2014. At the dealer, a Chevrolet technician inspects the fuse block and verifies that it is properly secured to the vehicle body. If the fuse block has shifted or the retention clips are loose, the technician repairs the fuse block mounting so exposed conductors stay clear of mounting studs and other metal parts. The inspection and needed repair are free under the recall once available.
