Source: NHTSA complaint databaseOwners of the 2 model years this bulletin names have filed 167 complaints with NHTSA since 2015. 44 of them name Electrical System — the same broad component group this bulletin is filed under. NHTSA groups complaints coarsely, so that means the same area of the vehicle, not necessarily the same fault.
The vehicle experienced repeated high-voltage system warnings and battery conditioning system failures. On multiple occasions the “Service High Voltage System” message appeared along with codes P0530 and P1C26 related to the lithium-ion battery conditioning system that controls heating and cooling of the high-voltage battery pack.

Common questions
Source: NHTSA, 49 CFR 579.5Is Chevrolet PIT6280 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 PIT6280 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 PIT6280 cover?
The manufacturer filed it against 2 model years: 2025 Chevrolet Blazer, 2025 Chevrolet Silverado. Whether one particular vehicle is affected is a matter of its VIN and its build, not its model year alone.
