General Motors (GM) has issued a recall for approximately 38,000 trucks and SUVs in Canada due to an issue with the warning lights. The recall specifically targets certain models where the malfunction indicator light (MIL) may fail to activate when there are underlying issues with the anti-lock brake system (ABS) or the electronic brake control module (EBCM).
This omission could prevent drivers from being alerted to potential system malfunctions, potentially increasing the risk of a crash. The affected models include variations of Chevrolet and GMC vehicles, specifically from certain production years that GM will detail in its communications to owners.
Owners of the recalled vehicles will be notified by GM, advising them to take their vehicles to authorized dealers. At no cost to the vehicle owners, dealers will update the software to ensure the warning systems function correctly. GM has committed to addressing this issue promptly to ensure the safety of vehicle owners and occupants.
Vehicle owners can also contact GM customer service or visit their website for more information and to check if their vehicle is affected by the recall.
