General Motors has announced a new recall affecting over 132,000 heavy-duty pickups in the United States. This recall is an extension of a previous recall related to tailgate release switches that have the potential to short circuit and open the gates while the trucks are parked.
The latest recall includes specific 2024 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 2500 and 3500 trucks that were not part of the initial recall in February, which involved 323,000 heavy-duty pickups. Only trucks equipped with a manual gate and power lock and release feature are impacted by this issue.
