General Motors Recalls Over 800,000 Pickup Trucks Due to Tailgate Issue

The recall, affecting Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra models from 2020 to 2024, aims to address a safety hazard that could increase crash risks.

General Motors is recalling nearly 820,000 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickup trucks in North America due to a tailgate safety issue that could lead to crashes.
The recall affects trucks sold between 2020 and 2024, with more than 570,000 vehicles in the United States and nearly 250,000 in Canada.
The issue stems from an electronic gate-release mechanism that could unlatch the tailgate while the vehicle is in motion, potentially causing road hazards.
GM has received over 130 complaints about the tailgate opening unexpectedly, including one report of an injury and three of property damage.
Owners will be notified starting March 18, and dealers will replace the exterior switch with a more water-resistant material.
