GM Recalls Nearly 450,000 SUVs, Trucks

General Motors is recalling more than 449,000 of its SUVs and pickup trucks because the software in the electronic brake control module may not display a warning light in the event of a brake fluid loss.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said Friday that the recall covers certain 2023-2024 Cadillac Escalade and Escalade ESV models, 2023 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, 2023 Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban 1500, 2023 GMC Sierra 1500, 2023-2024 GMC Yukon and Yukon XL.

The agency said that without the warning light on, the vehicle could be driven with a low brake fluid level, which could reduce braking performance and increase the risk of a crash.

A free software update will be made available to vehicle owners.

Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed out on October 28. Vehicle owners can contact GMC Customer Service at 1-800-462-8782, Chevrolet Customer Service at 1-800-222-1020 or Cadillac Customer Service at 1-800-458-8006.
