Our severity reasoning: This recall involves a real safety defect in an automatic emergency braking system that increases crash risk through unexpected vehicle stopping.

Plain-English summary

General Motors, LLC is recalling certain 2023 Chevrolet Colorado and 2023 GMC Canyon vehicles due to a defect in the front camera module (FCM) that controls the automatic emergency braking (AEB) system.

The front camera module may falsely detect an obstacle in the vehicle's path, causing the automatic emergency braking system to engage unexpectedly. When triggered, the AEB system causes the vehicle to abruptly stop or slow down without driver input, increasing the risk of a crash as other drivers may not anticipate the sudden deceleration.

Approximately 55,755 vehicles are affected by this recall. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020 or GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782 for more information. Dealers will update the front camera module software free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on April 5, 2024. Additional information is available at www.nhtsa.gov or by calling the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153).
