GM to Recall 473,000+ Trucks and SUVs

By Matt Higgins

If your work truck is a 2015 or 2016 GM product you may want to take notice of a new recall announced by GM. As reported by the Associated Press, the recall concerns the Chevrolet Silverado HD and GMC Sierra HD. It also happens to include the Chevrolet Tahoe police vehicles.

The problem being addressed is a nut on the brake pedal that can come loose resulting a nonfunctioning pedal. The fix is simple, but should be addressed for obvious reasons. Dealers will apply an adhesive to the nut and retighten. GM states it hasn’t received any reports of crashes or injuries as a result of this issue.
