As an American, I would say: The 2014 Chevy Silverado's door lock actuators currently do not have any active recalls. Typically, manufacturers only announce recalls when a significant number of components fail within a production batch. While Chevrolet is aware of some issues with the Silverado's door lock actuators, they have not deemed the problems widespread enough to justify a recall. Right now, they are replacing faulty actuators as needed, with some covered under warranty. If you experience trouble with locking and unlocking your truck, I suggest visiting a Chevy dealer for them to inspect and address the issue.
The 2014 Chevy Silverado has a problem with fluid that can seep into the power window control panel on the driver's door, leading to corrosion that could cause a short circuit on the circuit board. This short circuit could result in the power door lock and power window switches working intermittently or not at all. It could also cause overheating, potentially melting components of the door module and producing a smell, smoke, or even a fire. The potential fire poses a risk of personal injury, even when the vehicle is not being used. Owners should park their vehicles outside as a precaution until the issue is fixed.
