What's wrong, in plain English

OEM Systems is recalling certain 2024 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 trucks. The rear bumper mounting bracket that the trailer hitch attaches to may not be strong enough for towing. This could allow a trailer being towed to detach from the vehicle.

1. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls.
2. Contact OEM customer service at 1-800-810-7252.
3. The bracket and hitch will be replaced free of charge.
Where do I find my VIN, and what do I tell the dealer?

Your VIN is the 17-character code on the lower left of the windshield, on your registration and usually on your insurance card. Enter it at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see whether this recall is still open on your car. When you call the dealer, say you have an open safety recall and give them NHTSA campaign number 24V626000.
