Reported Nov 6, 2025 · Campaign 25V768000 · Model years: 2020
General Motors is recalling certain Chevrolet Silverado 4500HD, 5500HD, and 6500HD trucks. These vehicles already had a brake wiring fix done under an earlier recall, but the wire harness used in that repair was installed without protective tape. Without this tape, the wires can become damaged. Because of this, GM says these trucks need to have that earlier repair redone, with the tape properly added before the wiring harness is put back in place.
Reported Jun 12, 2025 · Campaign 25V390000 · Model years: 2020, 2021, 2023, 2024
Certain Chevrolet Silverado 4500HD, 5500HD, and 6500HD medium duty trucks have a brake pressure sensor assembly that may leak brake fluid into the nearby brake pressure switch. This leak can cause an electrical short circuit, which can overheat the circuit and increase the risk of a fire, whether the truck is being driven or is parked.
⚠ NHTSA advises: park outside and away from structures (fire risk).
