What's wrong, in plain English
This recall affects certain 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, Cadillac CT6, and GMC Sierra 1500 vehicles. A software error in a brake computer may cause the vehicle's stability control and antilock brake systems to shut off. If this happens, the warning lights on the dashboard that are supposed to alert the driver won't turn on, so the driver may not know these safety systems have stopped working.
