Seat belt on other Silverado 1500 years
Report counts are for each model year on its own, so a newer car has had less time to collect them. Model years with too few reports of it for a sheet: 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025, 2026.
What this problem usually is
This group covers the belt and the seat it's bolted to: buckles that won't latch or won't let go, belts that lock up and won't pull out, and seats that shift or rock in their tracks. It's a wide bucket, with over 9,000 complaints across the vehicles on this site, and a quarter of them mention a recall.
What got replaced
Owners who name the part that was replaced mention the buckle (6 reports) and the seat frame or track (4 reports).
Recalls and investigations
2 recalls on the seat belts cover the 2015 model year. A recall on the same system isn't always the same failure, so read the defect text.
The flexible steel cable connecting the driver's seat belt to the outboard side of the seat may be repeatedly bent over the seat side shield as the driver enters and exits the vehicle causing the cable to fatigue and separate.

When it happens
The middle half of failures fell between 16,000 and 60,000 miles, from the 25 reports that gave a mileage.
Is this a known problem?
The manufacturer has sent NHTSA 9 service bulletins or notices for the 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 that deal with this problem. Newest first.
Federal rules make a manufacturer send NHTSA a copy of any notice about a defect that goes to more than one dealer or owner. Most of these are service bulletins, the repair instructions manufacturers send to dealers. NHTSA generally leaves safety recall bulletins out of this file, and recalls are listed separately.
This technical bulletin provides repair information to correct a customer concern of front seat lateral movement and/or click type noise while driving.
This Preliminary Information communication provides information to the technician only to provide additional tips when diagnosing a front heated seat concern and is not meant to be a diagnostic flow chart or replace Service Information.
This Preliminary Information communication advises the technician that vehicles with front seat Regular Production Option Codes A52, AZ3, or B3F may comment about low treble, or excessive bass from the front door speakers.

What owners wrote
“Front seat belts tensioners are not recoiling the seat belts. The seat belt tensioners are not retracting when exiting the vehicle causing lashing buckle to get pinned between the door and door frame. I was told by GM customer service that some vehicles were recalled but my vehicle was not on the list. The problem has always existed which can be proven by door frame dents caused by seat belt tensioners.”

Should you keep driving it?
This page can't tell you that. 4 of 35 reports involved a crash and 3 people were hurt. Owners who file are the ones who had a bad experience, and nobody checks their reports. If the problem affects steering, braking, power or a fire risk, treat it as a safety fault and have it inspected before a long or high-speed drive.
