GM Recalls 2019-2020 Chevrolet HD Trucks for ABS Warning Light Defect

Plain-English summary

General Motors is recalling certain 2019-2020 Chevrolet 4500HD, 5500HD, and 6500HD Medium Duty trucks. The recall involves approximately 12,200 vehicles. The defect occurs if the vehicle's body control module (BCM) loses communication with the electronic brake control module (EBCM).

If a driver is unaware that the ABS system is malfunctioning, there is an increased risk of a crash. No specific injuries or fatalities are reported in the source text.

GM will notify owners, and dealers will update the software calibration for the body control module (BCM). The recall began on June 29, 2020. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
