GM Recalls Silverado Medium Duty Trucks for Fire Risk

General Motors is recalling 62,468 Chevrolet Silverado Medium Duty trucks from model years 2019 to 2024 due to a defect in the brake pressure sensor assembly that can cause brake fluid leakage and increase the risk of an electrical short and potential underhood fire, even when parked or switched off. The issue stems from an unauthorized chemical used by a supplier, affecting the rubber diaphragm in the brake assembly, with about 1% of recalled vehicles expected to be impacted. Owners are advised to park outdoors and away from structures until repairs are done. GM dealers will replace the affected brake pressure switch wire harnesses free of charge, with notification letters sent by July 28, 2025, and a second round after the remedy is available. No injuries or accidents have been reported so far. The recall follows other recent high-profile truck recalls and is under scrutiny by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
