2024 GMC SIERRA 1500 — Complaint #2113159
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about STRUCTURE:BODY:TAILGATE filed July 23, 2025
NHTSA complaint #2113159 (ODI reference 11675633) concerns a 2024 GMC SIERRA 1500 and was filed on July 23, 2025. The owner reports the failure occurred on July 23, 2025. The vehicle had 2,000 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Nevada based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as structure:body:tailgate, 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. No VIN was supplied by the filer, so this complaint contributes to model-year trend data but cannot be tied to a specific vehicle.
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 GMC SIERRA 1500 cohort independently describe similar structure:body:tailgate 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 2024 GMC SIERRA 1500 shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
