2024 Chevrolet Silverado 3500

Summary General Motors is recalling certain 2024 Chevrolet Silverado HD 2500 and 3500 trucks, as well as GMC Sierra HD 2500 and 3500 trucks equipped with power tailgates, because water can get into the electronic release switch and cause it to malfunction. When this happens, the tailgate may unlatch on its own while the truck is parked, causing cargo to fall out and potentially creating a hazard for other drivers.
