2000 Chevrolet C/K Chassis Cab recalls & complaints
Source: NHTSA, updated daily. Last checked 2026-10-19. Recalls apply to specific VINs — run your VIN to confirm.
1 safety recall, most serious first
1. Fuel system
What's wrong, in plain English: Fuel lines, tank or pump. Fuel problems usually mean a leak, and leaks mean fire risk. VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: CHASSIS CABS. ON SOME OF THESE VEHICLES, EITHER OR BOTH OF THE TWO BODY PRESSURE RELIEF VALVES (PRV) MAY NOT SEAL AND COULD BECOME INOPERATIVE DURING THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE IF THE BODY INSTALLED ON THE VEHICLE DOES NOT PROTECT THE PRV FROM ROAD DEBRIS.
What could happen: IF A PRV DOES NOT SEAL, EXHAUST FUMES COULD ENTER INTO THE PASSENGER CAB AND COULD CAUSE POSSIBLE ILLNESS, UNCONSCIOUSNESS, OR DEATH.
The fix: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE VEHICLE TO ENSURE THAT THE PRVS ARE PROTECTED BY THE BODY OF THE VEHICLE. IF THE PRVS ARE NOT PROTECTED BY THE BODY, THE DEALER WILL INSTALL NEW SHIELDED PRVS.
What to do
- Check whether your car is affected: enter your 17-digit VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls. A recall covers specific VINs, not every 2000 C/K CHASSIS CAB.
- Book a repair at any authorized Chevrolet dealer. Quote NHTSA campaign 00V404000.
- The repair is free. By US law, safety recall repairs cost the owner nothing, no matter the car's age or mileage.
- Buying this car used? Ask the seller for proof the recall was completed, or run the VIN yourself before paying.
