Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon brake on their own

NHTSA campaign 24V133000 · Reported 2024-02-22 · General Motors, LLC

high How serious is it? About this label

Serious — unexpected hard braking can lead to a crash, but the notice does not tell owners to stop driving.

What's wrong, in plain English

On certain 2023 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon trucks, the camera at the front of the truck can mistakenly think something is in the road. When that happens, the automatic emergency braking system kicks in even though nothing is there, and the truck slows down or stops suddenly. That can surprise you and the drivers behind you. The fix is a software update for the camera system.

What you should do

1. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see if your truck is affected. 2. Call your dealer, or GMC at 1-800-462-8782 or Chevrolet at 1-800-222-1020 (recall A232424660). 3. Have the front camera module software updated — the repair is free.
