Chevrolet medium-duty trucks can catch fire from brake leak critical

Reported 2023-04-13 · Campaign 23V266000 · Model years: 2019

A part that senses brake fluid pressure can leak fluid into the electrical switch next to it. The fluid lets electricity go where it should not, which overheats the wiring and can start a fire. This can happen while you are driving the truck or while it sits parked. The dealer replaces the pressure sensor on the master cylinder and looks over the wiring, replacing that too if it has been damaged. All of this is done at no cost to you.

⚠ NHTSA advises: park outside and away from structures (fire risk).

Chevrolet medium duty trucks may hide ABS warning light medium

Reported 2020-05-29 · Campaign 20V319000 · Model years: 2019

In these trucks, two computers that control the brakes need to talk to each other. If they lose contact, the truck may fail to turn on the dashboard warning light that tells you the anti-lock brakes are not working. So the anti-lock brakes could be broken and you would never know. That falls short of the federal safety rule for brake systems. A dealer will reprogram the body control module software to make the warning light work properly.
