**Update** Despite the VIN indicating my vehicle (2023 Z71 Crew 5.3 LT) was not part of the electronic tailgate release recall, a diagnostic check indicated a slow drain on the system when parked and not in use. A short circuit failure was found in the tailgate release mechanism and was replaced. A new battery was also installed due to the numerous drain down episodes. Hope this was helpful and Happy Motoring!

I have begun experiencing the identical issue (Chevy Z71 Crew 5.3 LT). I decided to monitor the vehicle to see if perhaps the fuel pump or automatic E brake was cycling. I was able to observe and record the interior dash back lighting (dull grey screen) light up, as well as the dual temp control knobs. This was occurring every 45-55 seconds. The steering wheel control backlight would also remain lit for an interval afterwords. I called local dealer and have an appointment. This vehicle is driven daily a minimum of 40 miles. I will update ASAP. Respectfully, Sarge
