Lights and instruments

2024-02-01 · campaign 2024-060

Issue: On certain vehicles, a software problem could cause the lower beam headlamps not to turn on as it becomes dark outside if the multi-function switch is in the "OFF" or "PARKING LAMP" position. This could also cause the daytime running lamps (DRLs) to turn off when the vehicle is moving. As a result, the vehicles may not meet certain requirements of Canadian regulations. Safety Risk: Headlamps and/or DRLs that don't turn on could reduce visibility, make the vehicle less visible to others and increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: General Motors will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to update the body control module (BCM)software.

Brakes

2020-09-24 · campaign 2020-452 · 404 vehicles

Issue: On certain vehicles, a sensor in the electronic brake boost system may have a bad connection. Under certain driving conditions, this could cause a loss of brake assist. If this happens, there would be a sudden increase in brake pedal force required to slow or stop the vehicle. Safety Risk: Reduced brake performance can cause extended stopping distances and increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: General Motors will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to replace the electronic brake boost module.

Structure

2020-08-18 · campaign 2020-384 · 880 vehicles

Issue: If the front trunk release button on the key fob is accidentally pressed while the vehicle is parked, the front trunk lid can open. If a driver ignores the visual and audible warnings, the vehicle could be driven with a front trunk that is not latched closed. If this happens, wind force could cause the hood to open suddenly while driving at higher speeds. Safety Risk: If the hood opens while driving, it could block the driver's view and increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: General Motors will send a wireless over-the-air update to each vehicle. This will allow you to update the Body Control Module software without having to bring the vehicle to a dealership. The update will limit the vehicle's speed when the hood is not completely closed and latched. The update will also modify the hood release on the key fob and the interior hood release buttons to require a longer press time. Alternatively, you may schedule an appointment to have the update performed by a dealer. General Motors will also mail a copy of this recall notice to all owners.
