A model year is listed because the code is named in its own record — a bulletin filed against it, or an owner’s complaint about it — not because every one of these vehicles sets it. Counts are documents in NHTSA’s files, not failure rates.

Is P0455 a known problem on Chevrolet vehicles?

It is a documented one: NHTSA's files hold 442 manufacturer filings and 1 owner report naming P0455 on 129 Chevrolet model years (2016–2025). Whether it is a problem on one particular car is a diagnosis, not a count — but a bulletin that names the code on your model year is the place to start.

Which Chevrolet models does P0455 appear on most?

2021 Silverado (13 documents), 2019 Silverado (13 documents), 2020 Silverado (12 documents).

Does P0455 on a Chevrolet mean it is recalled?

No. Recalls are filed by campaign and matched by VIN; no recall is triggered by a scan tool. Check the VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls, or open the model year's page here for the campaigns filed against it.
