1 recall covering model years 2021, 2024. To check whether your vehicle is affected, look up your 17-character VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls — a recall may apply only to some vehicles of a given year.
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).
