What's wrong, in plain English

General Motors is recalling certain 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 trucks. The bolts that attach the front and/or rear brake calipers may not have been heat treated correctly. Because these bolts were not properly treated, they may break when placed under load. If a caliper bolt breaks, the brake caliper could shift out of position or interfere with how the wheel spins.

1. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to confirm your truck is affected.
2. Contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020 or GMC customer service at 1-866-522-9559 to schedule a dealer repair.
