General Motors is recalling approximately 570,434 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 2500 and 3500 pickup trucks from the 2020-2024 model years. These vehicles are equipped with power-unlatching tailgates that may short circuit if water gets into the electronic gate-release switch. This defect can cause the tailgate to unexpectedly unlatch while the vehicle is in park. Dealers will replace the exterior touchpad switch assemblies with a more water-resistant version free of charge.
If the tailgate unlatches while the vehicle is stationary, it may then open fully while the truck is being driven. This can cause unsecured cargo to fall out of the truck bed into the road, creating a hazard for other drivers and increasing the risk of a crash.
