130K+ Chevrolet Silverado, GMC Sierra vehicles over tailgate concerns
GM issued a recall for more than 130,000 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra vehicles last month over concerns their tailgates could unlatch while in park.
The recall involves 132,037 model year 2024 Chevrolet Silverado HD 2500 and 3500 vehicles and model year 2024 GMC Sierra HD 2500 and 3500 vehicles equipped with power-unlatching tailgates.
“An unlatched tailgate may open and result in a loss of unsecured cargo, creating a road hazard and increasing the risk of a crash,” the GM recall says.
GM says it plans to remedy the issue by having its dealers replace the exterior touchpad switch assemblies in the recalled vehicles at no cost to vehicle owners.
GM recalls 460K+ diesel trucks, SUVs over rear wheel issues
GM issued a recall for more than 460,000 diesel trucks and SUVs in November over concerns their rear wheels could suddenly lock up as a result of a transmission control valve failure.
The recall involves 461,839 model year 2021 Cadillac Escalade, Cadillac Escalade ESV, GMC Yukon, GMC Yukon XL, Chevrolet Tahoe and Chevrolet Suburban vehicles, model year 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, 2500 and 3500 vehicles, and model year 2022 GMC Sierra 1500, 2500 and 3500 vehicles.
“Rear wheel lockup can increase the risk of a crash,” the GM recall says.
GM says it plans to remedy the issue by having dealers install new transmission control module software in the recalled vehicles free of charge.
77K+ Chevrolet Express, GMC Savana vehicles recalled over software issue
GM issued a recall for more than 77,000 model year 2022-2023 Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana vehicles last month over concerns they contain a software issue in their transmission control modules that could increase the risk of a crash.
The automaker says the software issue may cause the recalled vehicles to move in an unintended direction and/or lead to harsh shifting, reduced power, rear wheel lockup and unintended deceleration.
“Rear wheel lockup or moving in an unintended direction can increase the risk of a crash,” the GM recall says.
GM says it plans to remedy the issue by having dealers update the transmission control module software in the recalled vehicles free of charge.
GM recalls almost 450K vehicles over warning light failure
GM issued a recall for nearly 450,000 vehicles in September over concerns they could fail to display a warning light in the event a loss of brake fluid occurs.
The recall involves 449,671 model year 2023 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 vehicles and model year 2023-2024 Chevrolet Tahoe, Chevrolet Suburban, GMC Yukon, GMC Yukon XL, Cadillac Escalade and Cadillac Escalade ESV vehicles.
“Without a warning light, the vehicle may be driven with low brake fluid, which can reduce braking performance and increase the risk of a crash,” the GM recall says.
GM says it plans to remedy the issue by updating the software in the recalled vehicles’ electronic brake control module in-person at a GM dealer or through an over-the-air software update at no cost to vehicle owners.

I would like to find out how to get on the class action law suit. I have been without a vehicle since the end of September. The transmission shifted to neutral while driving and wouldn’t shift at all after . I had had some slippage days prior to and then it just stopped. Truck is a 2016 Silverado crew cab , mileage was around 77,000. It’s going to cost me over 5,000 to replace the transmission, the cost of the tow, the cost of a rental for a few days and loss of work because I can’t afford to keep renting. Something should definitely be done about this issue. I keep up on my maintenance and expected much more from GM.
