What this recall means for you
The front brake calipers on these trucks may leak brake fluid. Air pockets in the metal caliper body can cause the leak, which reduces braking effectiveness.
If brake fluid leaks, stopping distance can increase, raising the risk of a crash. Owners should be alert to changes in braking performance and have the vehicle checked promptly.
GM will notify owners, and authorized dealers will inspect and replace the front brake calipers if necessary, at no cost. Check your VIN for open recalls, and contact GM customer service at 1-800-222-1020 (Chevrolet) or 1-800-462-8782 (GMC) with questions.
