NHTSA Complaint #11447307 — 2019 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2500

Recall N212329840, N182206310, N182206311. We have received these recalls for the heater block heater cord for our 2019 Chevrolet Silverado Duramax Diesel. The dealership removed the cord without having a replacement available. We have made several attempts to have this cord replaced per the recall notice but to no avail. GMC continues to fail to provide a replacement cord or heater block unit. This part is essential for the Duramax diesel engine to perform in cold climates. Without the heater block functioning the diesel engine will not function properly. We feel this is a safety issue for the maintaining the engine as designed and the occupants of the vehicle. The engine may eventually start in cold climates but start to fail as you drive it because the engine block is not warmed and the fuel will gel. This will cause the truck to stop running as you are driving it. We would like to have NHTSA to investigate why the heater blocks/cords are not available.
