General Motors is recalling about 450,000 pickup trucks and SUVs in the United States due to a potentially inoperative low brake fluid warning light, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said on Friday.
The recall includes 2023 model year Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, 2023-2024 Chevrolet Tahoe, Suburban, GMC Yukon, Yukon XL, Cadillac Escalade and Escalade ESV models.
The electronic brake control module software on impacted vehicles may fail to display a warning light when a loss of brake fluid occurs, NHTSA said.
Dealers will remedy the issue with an over-the-air update to fix the electronic brake control module software. No injuries or crashes have been reported, GM said.
GM said a company engineer submitted the issue to its "Speak Up For Safety" program in April after observing no illumination of the required telltale during a forced brake fluid leak test.
GM shares rose 0.5% on Friday.
