What GM told its investors
$2,190 in warranty and recall costs for every vehicle GM sold in 2025.
Up 74% since 2023.
What the company booked each year for repairs under warranty and recalls, divided by the vehicles it sold. GM reports Chevrolet, GMC, Buick and Cadillac together, worldwide wholesale sales. From General Motors's annual report to the SEC (10-K). It's money the company expects to spend, not a repair bill for you.
Every Chevrolet, ranked. Lower is better. 100 is the average car.
