General Motors (GM) is recalling an estimated 40,428 Chevrolet trucks due to a potential fire hazard, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).
The recall affects certain 2019-2023 Chevrolet 4500HD, 5500HD, and 6500HD Medium-Duty trucks. The brake pressure sensor assembly may leak brake fluid into the brake pressure switch, which can cause an electrical short circuit. This can lead to a fire while driving or parked.
