GM filed this with NHTSA as a service bulletin dated May 23, 2023, received Jun 13, 2023, about the air bags. It names 8 model years across Chevrolet and GMC (2020–2023). A service bulletin is not a safety recall: it is the manufacturer telling its dealers how to diagnose or repair a condition, and whether the work is paid for depends on the warranty in force. Quoting the number at a service desk can save a diagnosis.

The “Service Safety Restraint” alarm goes off continually on my 2021 GMC Sierra 2500HD AT4. The warranty is no longer valid as at the time of occurrence I was at 34,500 miles and when I took it in the warranty had expired due to exceeding 36,000 miles.

Common questions
Source: NHTSA, 49 CFR 579.5Is GM PIP5925 a recall?
No. A service bulletin is a manufacturer communication filed with NHTSA under 49 CFR 579.5; a safety recall carries an NHTSA campaign number (two digits, a letter, six digits) and a federal duty to repair for free. Check the vehicle’s recalls by VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls, or on its page here.
Is the PIP5925 repair free?
Not automatically. A service bulletin describes how to diagnose or repair a condition; who pays depends on the warranty in force, any extension, and the dealer. Quoting the number can save a diagnosis either way.
Which vehicles does PIP5925 cover?
The manufacturer filed it against 8 model years across 2 brands (Chevrolet and GMC): 2023 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD, 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD, 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD, 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD, 2023 GMC Sierra 2500HD, 2022 GMC Sierra 2500HD and more. Whether one particular vehicle is affected is a matter of its VIN and its build, not its model year alone.
