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.

Soot has built up in the diesel particulate filter beyond the allowed limit.

A stored code names the test that failed, never the part that caused it. The record above is what Chevrolet and its owners have filed about it; the code’s page across every make has the whole file.

Common questions

Is P2463 a known problem on Chevrolet vehicles?

It is a documented one: NHTSA's files hold 371 manufacturer filings and 2 owner reports naming P2463 on 57 Chevrolet model years (2016–2026). 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 P2463 appear on most?

2019 Silverado (18 documents), 2021 Silverado (15 documents), 2020 Silverado (14 documents).

Does P2463 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.
