General Motors is recalling more than 449,000 of its SUVs and trucks because the electronic brake control module software may not display a warning light when brake fluid leaks occur.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said Friday the recall includes certain 2023-2024 Cadillac Escalade and Escalade ESV models, 2023 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, 2023-2024 Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban 1500, 2023 GMC Sierra 1500, and 2023-2024 GMC Yukon and Yukon XL.
The agency said that without the warning light, a vehicle may be driven with low brake fluid, which can reduce braking performance and increase the risk of a crash.
A free software update will be provided to vehicle owners.
Notification letters to owners are expected to be mailed 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.
