GM Recalls 449,000 SUVs and Trucks Due to Brake Fluid Warning Light Malfunction

General Motors is recalling over 449,000 SUVs and trucks—something’s off with the electronic brake system. The glitch?

And if that happens, braking power takes a hit, increasing the chance of an accident.

This recall covers several 2023-2024 models: Cadillac Escalade, Chevrolet Silverado, GMC Sierra, along with others like the Tahoe and Yukon. A broad spectrum of popular rides is affected.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration flagged the issue, pointing to the real danger—no warning light means drivers could be cruising with low brake fluid without even knowing it. But GM’s stepping up with a fix—a software update, free of charge. Owners can expect letters hitting their mailboxes starting October 28.
