Approximately 464,000 model-year 2019 Cadillac CT6 sedans and Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 pickup trucks are being recalled due to an electronic brake control module software error that could disable the vehicle’s electronic stability control and antilock brake system. If this error occurs, the vehicle’s diagnostics will not illuminate the instrument cluster ESC and ABS malfunction warning lights, increasing the risk of a crash.
Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC manufacturer GM will begin notifying owners on Jan. 27. Owners can call Cadillac at 800-333-4223, Chevrolet at 800-222-2020, GMC at 888-988-7267 or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s vehicle-safety hotline at 888-327-4236 to learn more.
To fix the problem, dealers will reprogram the electronic brake control module software.
Vehicle manufacturers are legally required to repair any recalled issues or replace the defective part for free under the Highway Safety Act of 1970. If the dealership refuses to fix the problem or attempts to charge you for the repair, contact the manufacturer immediately.
