NHTSA campaign 24V674000 · reported September 12, 2024 · General Motors, LLC · 449,671 vehicles potentially affected

The problem
General Motors, LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2023 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, 2023-2024 Chevrolet Tahoe, Suburban, GMC Yukon, Yukon XL, Cadillac Escalade, and Escalade ESV vehicles.
