General Motors (GM) has issued a recall for certain Chevrolet Silverado Medium Duty trucks ranging from the 2019 to 2024 model years.
The recall is due to a defect in the brake pressure sensor assembly that could result in a fire hazard, even when the vehicle is not in use.

The recall affects an estimated 62,468 vehicles, as reported by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
NHTSA noted that owners are advised to park their vehicles outdoors until the recall remedy has been performed. The issue may be indicated by a “service brake system” malfunction indicator lamp.
The problem stems from an unauthorised chemical used by the supplier, Kodiak Controls, in the brake pressure sensor assembly’s rubber diaphragm.
This chemical can cause the diaphragm to degrade, potentially allowing brake fluid to leak into the brake pressure switch and associated fuse.

By GlobalDataGM’s Safety Field Action Decision Authority (SFADA) made the decision to carry out a safety recall on June 5, 2025.
The company plans to send the interim notifications to owners beginning July 28, and it will notify owners about the availability of a solution as soon as it is established.
This follows a previous recall issued on April 13, 2023, under NHTSA Recall 23V-266, which addressed a similar issue where zinc sealant could fragment and cause a short circuit in the brake pressure sensors.
In a related issue last year, GM also recalled nearly 132,000 trucks due to concerns that the tailgates could unlatch unexpectedly.
Additionally, in the same year, the company announced the recall of 461,839 vehicles due to a transmission issue.
