Models included in the recall are model-year 2021-23 Buick Envision SUVs; model-year 2020-23 Cadillac CT4 and CT5 sedans; model-year 2022-23 Cadillac Escalade and Escalade ESV SUVs; model-year 2022-23 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 pickup trucks and Suburban and Tahoe SUVs; and model-year 2022-23 GMC Sierra 1500 trucks and Yukon and Yukon XL SUVs. The issue is with the body control module software, which may fail to deactivate the daytime running lights when the headlights are on, resulting in a glare that could increase the risk of a crash.
To resolve the issue, dealers will update the body control module software for free, or the issue may be resolved through an over-the-air update. GM will begin notifying owners Jan. 23, 2023, but those with further questions in the meantime may contact Cadillac at 800-458-8006, Chevrolet at 800-222-1020, GM at 888-988-7267 or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s vehicle-safety hotline at 888-327-4236, or visit its website to check their vehicle identification number and learn more.
