Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:OIL/LUBRICATION:PIPES, HOSES, AND FITTINGS filed February 3, 2025
NHTSA complaint #2062098 (ODI reference 11640266) concerns a 2019 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 and was filed on February 3, 2025. The owner reports the failure occurred on January 21, 2025. The report was geocoded to Texas based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as engine and engine cooling:engine:oil/lubrication:pipes, hoses, and fittings, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 cohort independently describe similar engine and engine cooling:engine:oil/lubrication:pipes, hoses, and fittings failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2019 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
Complaint Description
The oil cooler line on this vehicle is faulty- they Crimp that crimps the hose to the metal parts breaks off. This is common in this vehicle (after it happened to me, I started to read on this and thousands of customers have had this issue). My oil exited my vehicle and upon replacing the part on my own (after towing, parts and labor cost), the engine would not crank. Come to find out that the engine seized up (locked). GMC/CHEVROLET is not taking any responsibility for this. There is a customer satisfaction program for this as it is a known issue as stated, specially in the colder parts but apparently my VIN did not get affected by this. This needs to be looked at as it very costly for a customer.
