Wondering what the 2020 Chevy Silverado warranty covers? Learn about your factory coverage, what is included, and how to extend your truck’s protection with help from Granger Warranty.
What to Watch for as Your Truck Ages and How to Stay Protected
The 2023 Chevrolet Silverado HD is a serious tool for heavy lifting, towing, and everyday use. Whether you drive a 2500HD or 3500HD, problems can still crop up—especially as the miles climb. This breakdown of 2023 Silverado HD common issues helps you understand what repairs might surface and how factory and extended warranty coverage can protect your investment.
While 2023 models feature newer tech and refinements, early owner feedback and service records show some familiar concerns:
Problem Area | Description | Affected Models |
Transmission Shudder | Mild vibration or gear hesitation under acceleration | Gas-powered 2500HD/3500HD |
Infotainment Freezing | Touchscreen delay or occasional rebooting in 13.4" display | LT, LTZ, High Country |
DEF Sensor Alerts | Faulty diesel exhaust fluid level warnings on Duramax-equipped trucks | Diesel 2500HD/3500HD |
Camera Calibration Faults | Rear or surround-view camera misalignment | All trims with HD camera |
HVAC Actuator Noise | Clicking or tapping behind dash due to blend door issues | All models |
These problems tend to emerge after factory bumper-to-bumper coverage expires, which is where extended protection becomes valuable.
Coverage Type | Gas Models | Diesel Models |
Bumper-to-Bumper | 3 years / 36,000 miles | 3 years / 36,000 miles |
Powertrain | 5 years / 60,000 miles | 5 years / 100,000 miles |
Roadside Assistance | 5 years / 60,000 miles | 5 years / 100,000 miles |
Corrosion Protection | 6 years / 100,000 miles | 6 years / 100,000 miles |
After 36,000 miles, electronics, sensors, cameras, and HVAC components are no longer covered unless you have an extended warranty.
