What this recall means for you
A dealer technician may have calibrated the brake system control software incorrectly. This can affect electronic stability control, traction control, anti-lock braking, and braking while towing a trailer, so overall braking performance may be reduced.
Reduced braking performance increases the risk of a crash. Owners should keep an eye on how the vehicle brakes and avoid relying on it for towing until the recall work is complete.
Dealers will recalibrate the brake system control module at no cost to you. Owner notification letters were mailed August 27, 2021. You can contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1202 or GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782, and you can check your VIN for open recalls.
