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.

What Chevrolet owners said

Owners’ own words, scrubbed of anything identifying. Unverified reports filed with NHTSA — what was said, not a finding that it was true.

I used my scanner to see what the codes are, and it have me a "Power Steering Control Module" C0800-03 code, as well as a "Keyless Entry" U0140, a "Parking Assist Module" U0420 code

Is U0140 a known problem on Chevrolet vehicles?

It is a documented one: NHTSA's files hold 80 manufacturer filings and 1 owner report naming U0140 on 18 Chevrolet model years (2017–2026). 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 U0140 appear on most?

2019 Silverado (11 documents), 2017 Suburban (9 documents), 2017 Tahoe (9 documents).

Does U0140 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.
