- Problem
- General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2015-2020 Chevrolet Suburban, Tahoe, and GMC Yukon, and 2014-2018 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 vehicles equipped with a 5.3-liter engine, a 3.08-ratio rear axle and four-wheel drive. If a wheel-speed sensor fails, while the vehicle is traveling between 41 and 60 mph in four-wheel or automatic mode, the Electronic-Brake Control Module (EBCM) software may activate the driveline-protection system.
- Risk
- Unintended activation of the driveline-protection system will cause unintended braking on the wheel on the opposite side of the failed sensor, causing the vehicle to pull to one side unexpectedly, increasing the risk of a crash.
- Remedy
- GM will notify owners, and dealers will reprogram the EBCM, free of charge. The recall began December 11, 2019. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-630-2438 or GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782. GM's number for this recall is N192261050.
- Notes
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
What this recall means for you
A failed wheel-speed sensor can cause the vehicle's software to activate the driveline-protection system while driving between 41 and 60 mph in four-wheel or automatic mode. This applies brakes unintentionally on the wheel opposite the failed sensor, so the vehicle can pull unexpectedly to one side, raising the risk of a crash. The issue affects certain vehicles with a 5.3-liter engine, a 3.08-ratio rear axle and four-wheel drive.
The repair is free. General Motors will notify owners, and dealers will reprogram the electronic brake control module. Owners can contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-630-2438 or GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782 and reference recall number N192261050.
