General Motors is recalling 131,231 Chevrolet Silverado HD (2500, 3500) and GMC Sierra HD (2500, 3500) trucks from the 2024 model year equipped with power-unlatching tailgates. Water can leak into the tailgate's electronic release switch, causing a short circuit that may trigger the tailgate to open unexpectedly while the vehicle is in Park. To fix this, dealers will replace the exterior touchpad switch assembly with an improved version for free.
If the tailgate unlatches inadvertently, unsecured cargo can fall out of the truck bed while driving, creating a significant road hazard for other vehicles and increasing the risk of a crash.
You have 2 options:
Replacement of the exterior touchpad switch assembly.
Pre-drive safety check.
If you or a family member were harmed by this recalled product, you may have legal rights. Consider consulting a consumer protection attorney to understand your options for compensation.
