Typical brake symptoms owners report
- Brake pedal reportedly sinks to the floor or fails to respond during low-speed maneuvers, in some cases leading to a collision.
- Dashboard warning lights for the service brakes and trailer brakes appear along with a message restricting speed, and owners say dealers lacked parts to fix it.
- Sudden loss of electrical power at a stop reportedly disables brake assist, causing the truck to jerk forward before the driver can shift to neutral.
- Owners describe the vehicle failing to slow or stop even with sustained brake pedal pressure, sometimes forcing evasive driving onto curbs or medians.
- Some owners report unexpected automatic braking or park-lock engagement while backing out or driving, without an apparent obstacle.
- One owner reported receiving the recall notice (24V674000) but said the repair part was on national backorder for longer than a reasonable time.

General Motors, LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2023 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, 2023-2024 Chevrolet Tahoe, Suburban, GMC Yukon, Yukon XL, Cadillac Escalade, and Escalade ESV vehicles. The electronic brake control module software may fail to display a warning light when a loss of brake fluid occurs. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Vehicle Safety Standard number 135, "Light Vehicle Brake Systems."
Risk: Without a warning light, the vehicle may be driven with low brake fluid, which can reduce braking performance and increase the risk of a crash.
Remedy: The Electronic Brake Control Module (eBCM) software will be updated through an over-the-air (OTA) update or by a dealer, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed October 25, 2024. Owners can contact GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782, Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020, or Cadillac customer service at 1-800-458-8006. GM's number for this recall is N242447990.
