GM Issues Another Recall: Find Out If Your Silverado, Sierra, Cadillac Are Affected?

General Motors (GM) is issuing another recall for its 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, 2019 GMC Sierra, and possibly the Cadillac CT6 over a faulty electronic brake control module software issue. This is the second recall for the software problem that was initially issued back in December 2019.

According to a report from the Detroit Free Press, despite the initial recall from GM, the repair that was provided for the vehicles at the time could now cause total brake failure. At the time, the recall affected 500,000 vehicles, with the second recall reportedly affecting between 1,600 to 1,700 vehicles.

The report by the news outlet indicated that the recalled vehicles have experienced brake failure after having repairs to the faulty brake control module in the first recall and another 160,000 GM owners that were a part of the original recall may also have these brake issues.

In the initial recall, the software issue would prevent the malfunction lights for the anti-lock braking system and electronic stability control from illuminating, which could increase the risk a crash. To repair the issue, GM dealers updated the electronic brake control module software, which the Detroit Free Press said, caused the electronic brake control module in the vehicle to disrupt when using the OnStar app.

GM said it will issue a new repair for the affected vehicles that will update the faulty software. GM spokesman Dan Flores told the news outlet, the repair will make the vehicles safe to drive. He said “If any customer has a concern with their vehicle, they should contact their dealer immediately.”

Shares of GM stock were up 3.11% as of 12:41 p.m. EST on Tuesday.
