The recall affects the 2023-2024 Cadillac Escalade and Escalade ESV, 2023 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, 2023-2024 Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban 1500, 2023 GMC Sierra 1500, and 2023-2024 GMC Yukon and Yukon XL models, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said Friday.
The department said without the warning light, vehicles could be driven with low brake fluid, reducing braking performance and increasing the risk of a crash.
To fix the issue, vehicle owners will be offered a free software update. Vehicles capable of receiving over-the-air updates will be able to fix the issue from home, but owners who can't do so will have to visit a dealer to have the problem fixed.
Owner notification letters will be sent out on October 28th.NumberVehicle owners can contact GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782, Cadillac customer service at 1-800-458-8006 or Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020.
The NHTSA website allows customers to search for recalls based on their vehicle identification number (VIN).
