**General Motors Recalls Over 62,000 Silverado Trucks Over Fire Risk**

**DETROIT** – General Motors (GM) is recalling over 62,000 Chevrolet Silverado heavy-duty trucks due to a brake pressure sensor defect that could lead to a fire. The recall affects 2019-2024 Chevrolet Silverado 4500 HD, 5500 HD, and 6500 HD models, as reported to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) on June 25th.

According to GM, a faulty brake pressure sensor assembly may leak brake fluid into the brake pressure switch, causing a short circuit. This electrical short can overheat the circuit, significantly increasing the risk of a fire, whether the vehicle is in operation or parked. The majority of the affected vehicles are 2023 Chevrolet Silverado 5500 HD trucks manufactured between January 20, 2023, and March 19, 2024. Approximately 10,097 of these vehicles are potentially at risk.

GM stated that vehicles produced before the 2019 model year are not affected due to a different design. Additionally, 2024 models manufactured with a brake switch wire harness that includes a silicone sealant are also excluded from the recall.

The company will notify affected vehicle owners by July 28th and has already alerted dealerships. GM will replace the brake pressure switch wire harnesses free of charge. A second notification will be sent once the repair is available.

Until the recall repair is performed, owners of affected vehicles are urged to park them outdoors and away from structures to minimize the potential fire hazard. GM clarified that vehicles previously repaired under recall number 23V266 also require this new repair.
