General Motors 2015 and 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 and 3500, GMC Sierra 2500 and 3500 models and some Police Tahoes are being recalled because the brakes could fail. NHTSA says, "On the affected vehicles, the brake pedal pivot nut may loosen, causing the brake pedal to be loose or inoperative."

The recall notice goes on to explain that, that "If the brake pedal becomes loose or inoperative, the driver may be unable to stop the vehicle by using the brake pedal. Additionally, a loose pedal may also interfere with the accelerator pedal. Either condition may increase the risk of a crash." If you have a vehicle you want to check on, you can do so right here.

The fix is for the dealer to out a drop of Loctite on the threads and re-torque the bolt.

If that's the biggest fix my truck needs, I'll be thrilled.

My 14 silveryado 1500 had 14 recalls. I sold both that and my other silveryado here in MI and bought 2 new rams and sold my yukon xl in colorado for a tundra. No more GM for me. Oh yea, after fight with GM back in may with my vibration issues with the 14 and getting blown off, I cancelled my order on 16 vette and bought a new challenger. Goodbye gm

This is miniscule.

 

I'd take a couple dozen like this, compared to major transmission, engine, and computer/electrical problems with no real solutions except getting it past warranty period and then sayonara, and "who are you?, oh well, the on the NEW models that problem has been corrected, of course, your trade isn't worth much being it has known problems, and most buyers are avoiding those like the plague".

 

That's verbatim of what Ford dealer told my neighbor about his 6.0 Ford truck.

 

They are charging for excellence and providing mediocrity.

 

That's why most new trucks will be in the graveyard before they are paid for.

Here's another reason to run from the "General".

 

Most of your posts have been something negative toward the GM brand. Not sure if you realize it but this is a GM specific forum and if you have nothing to contribute, you are better off elsewhere IMO. I am not a mod. but it would be a good idea for you to join a forum for the brand you seem to feel is superior to the GM offerings and haven't had any sort of issues or recalls. Since you have joined this forum, it's been nothing but posting negativity.

 

This is the best GM Truck forum on the internet, the most family friendly and cleanest as well. Our mod's don't play games here and don't allow the nonsense that you see on several other forums. If you are not interested in learning or helping other forum members, your best bet is to not post at all.

 

Every vehicle manufacturer has had recalls since the beginning of time, it's nothing new and this recall from GM is not a major issue that requires a lot of work. You keep posting that you are done with GM so you should find a forum for the manufacturer you like and post your negativity there, it's not needed around here.

You recall & fix problematic parts supplied by vendors or your own mfg. No mfg is innocent nor perfect. Really is a pick your poison sort of deal.

No argument here that things today are built with poor QC. My line of thinking is, why can't GM be a Q.C. leader, and have the LOWEST amount of failures / cheap components / recalls out of any of them? Something to strive for, for sure. Doesn't seem like that's happening in my lifetime.

 

Thought they were finally recalling the '14's for the crap headlights. Oh well.

I have a 2013 GMC 1500 full size, is the brake system (pedal assm) different than 2014 and beyond or just not included in the recall yet ?

Ram and Toyota often have more recalls than GM. GM is more into it this year due to legal/publicity issues. I'm glad they are more into it, rather than Toyota who tries their best to keep from doing a recall....

What do you call the GM ignition scandal? U say GM didn't try to cover it up?

 

All OEMs do their best NOT to admit fault. The recalls don't bother me as much as items that SHOULD be recalled and are not. Everyone is well aware of the vibration issues on new trucks.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      Common failure.  You need to replace the fuel door housing.   The painted cover transfers over to the new housing.  To remove the old one there is 4 spots where you poke the plastic to release it.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Active Grille Delete

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?
