Welcome to Fan Reviews News. Today, we have some important news regarding General Motors and a recent recall. General Motors is recalling nearly 820,000 pickup trucks due to a potential safety issue involving tailgates. This recall affects certain models of the 2020-2024 Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra trucks.
The automaker has identified a problem with the electronic latch mechanism used to open the tailgate. If water enters the tailgate, it may cause a short circuit, which could lead to the tailgate inadvertently opening while the vehicle is parked. This poses a risk of unsecured items in the truck bed flying out when the driver hits the road.
General Motors has acknowledged more than 130 complaints of the tailgate opening while the vehicle is in motion. However, the company assures that the control logic in the body control module (BCM) should prevent the tailgate from releasing when the vehicle is in gear, even if a release signal is received from the exterior touchpad switch.
General Motors has taken action by issuing a recall. It is important for owners of the affected pickup trucks to contact their local General Motors dealership for further instructions. The automaker will inspect and repair the electronic latch mechanism to ensure the safety of the vehicles.
If you own a 2020-2024 Chevy Silverado or GMC Sierra pickup truck, please take this recall seriously and make sure to reach out to your local General Motors dealership as soon as possible. It is crucial to address this issue promptly to prevent any potential accidents or harm.
