Typical brake symptoms owners report

  • Sudden loss of braking power while driving, with the brake pedal going to the floor and reduced or no stopping ability.
  • Dashboard warnings for Antilock Braking System, Brake System Failure, and Traction Control appearing together, sometimes limiting the vehicle to a low top speed.
  • Brakes activating unexpectedly with no warning, sometimes producing tire screech, in a way dealers could not reproduce or find fault codes for.
  • A brake pad sensor warning appearing soon after purchase, tied to a frayed or damaged wire in the brake module that was linked to a later crash.
  • Brake noise along with reports of worn rotors and pads that owners say the dealer or manufacturer declined to address.

    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.
