More than 449,000 SUVs and pickup trucks by General Motors are being recalled because the electronic brake control module software may fail to display a warning light when there is a loss of brake fluid.
Certain 2023–2024 Cadillac Escalade and Escalade ESVs, 2023–2024 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, 2023–2024 Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban 1500, 2023–2024 GMC Sierra 1500 and 2023–2024 GMC Yukon and Yukon XL models are included in the recall, according to a statement released by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration on Friday.
According to the agency, without the warning light, a vehicle may be driven with low brake fluid, which could reduce braking ability and raise the chance of an accident. Owners of the vehicles will receive a free software upgrade.
