What's wrong, in plain English
Some of these trucks are fitted with an accessory sport bar. The sport bar contains a brake light mounted up high, and that light may not work. The bar may also block the truck's own high-mounted brake light. Because of this, the trucks may not meet the federal standard covering lamps, reflective devices and related equipment. General Motors is recalling certain 2022 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra trucks that have this accessory bar installed.
