GM Recalls Half Million Trucks and SUVs For Brake Flaw
General Motors is recalling over 449,000 SUVs and pickup trucks from model years 2023-2024 due to a software issue in the electronic brake control module.
This problem can prevent the vehicle from displaying a warning light when there is a loss of brake fluid, which could lead to reduced braking performance and increase the risk of a crash.
As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 135, "Light Vehicle Brake Systems."
The affected vehicles include:
2023-2024 Cadillac Escalade and Escalade ESV
2023-2024 Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban 1500
2023 GMC Sierra 1500
2023-2024 GMC Yukon and Yukon XL
GM will provide a free software update to address the issue, and owners will be notified by mail starting October 28. For additional information, vehicle owners can contact GMC, Chevrolet, or Cadillac customer service.
This recall emphasizes the importance of regular vehicle maintenance and software updates to ensure optimal safety features remain functional.
