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.

Common questions

Is U0100 a known problem on Chevrolet vehicles?

It is a documented one: NHTSA's files hold 100 manufacturer filings and 8 owner reports naming U0100 on 21 Chevrolet model years (2016–2022). 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 U0100 appear on most?

2020 Silverado (9 documents), 2019 Silverado (9 documents), 2017 Suburban (9 documents).

Does U0100 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.
