Just got my notice in the mail today also. It may be a while before I get a chance to take mine to the dealer. I have had none of the issues described with mine though so I expect nothing to happen until I get a chance to take a day off from work.

What's the fix? Hard to believe a software update will fix everyone's problem. Especially since some changes were made after the 2014 year to remedy electrical issues. If GM knew about a problem that

Writing from the dealer waiting room as I have this done right now. I've thankfully not had this happen to me in person (knock on wood), but since the notice arrived Saturday and facing a week-long road trip starting tomorrow, figured I may as well have it tackled...

Headed to get mine done today after work. No issues as of yet but I figure it is there why not get it done and be safe.

So has anybody else experienced problems after the software update?

Based on this thread I'd say no?

 

What issues are you having?

This is what I sent to the dealership:

 

-was taken to dealership for EPS recall 8/18 at 9:00am

-intermittent issue

-happens when voltage is below 14v

-stabilitrak message on DIC and loss of air from vents when braking

-pulls steering wheel out of hands when turning

-always pulls toward center

-fighting steering wheel will stall engine

-once stalled, will not start for at least 2 minutes, acting as if battery is dead

-on 8/18 after stalling due to EPS issue in video, negative battery terminal was hotter than anything else under the hood

-on 8/19 checked for voltage drop from battery negative terminal to negative cable with accessories on and engine off. Read 0.00v DC.

Did they check all the grounds and positive battery cables per PIT5405?

Interesting. Any of these symptoms exist beforehand?

 

Yes, it started back in March. Less than a month after purchasing it with 54k mi on it.

 

Did they check all the grounds and positive battery cables per PIT5405?

Yes. They decided both battery cables and my battery need replaced to the tune of $900.

 

I think Im going to start with replacing the negative cable since it was hot to the touch.

Originally scheduled my visit today for this recall, but now I'm getting it done PLUS the superfantastic AC condenser issue.

I have a 2015 that is currently in the shop for this... they claimed a BAD battery at first.... tested battery and all came back fine. Now they think it could be a battery cable... Out of my 3/36 bumper to bumper and my extended doesn't cover battery or cables... any one know how i can get GM to pay for this since it is the exact same thing as the recall on the 2014s as well as the same recall back in 2015 for the EPS system? Not wanting to come out of pocket for something that GM should fix for their faulty equipment.

The current steering recall is the only steering recall I know of for '14-'15 LD trucks. Except for a very limited steering motor recall on '15s. No recalls for cables.

      2026 DENALI 6.2L

      By pyoung62 · Posted

      I agree with Tim.  As tech heavy as engines are these days, no way I’d be an early buyer of the new 6.6.  Of course, I bought my ‘26 Denali w/the 6.2 after dumping my Tundra with it’s defective 3.5 liter imploding engine disaster, so I’m a little gun-shy.  That said, my 6.2 has been rock solid.  I don’t drive it like I do my BMW Z4 M40i, but I don’t baby it either.  I got a V8 for a reason.  But I’m averaging 18 around town and 22 highway.  I have seen 24 highway as well when I wasn’t loaded up heavy.  Considering my Tundra with the twin turbo V6 only got 14.5 in town and 17 on the road, I’ll take the 6.2 all day, every day.  If I were you, I’d grab a ‘26 while you can.  Inventories are probably gonna start dropping and I’ll bet the deals will start looking sweeter as well.

      Can you add a 360° Cameras hard button to a 2021 Sierra?

      By ShowMeShooter1332 · Posted

      I am curious if anyone has figured out a way to add an hard button AUX or 360 Camera switch to the center row of switches. I have a 2021 AT4, and want to split the hill decent button and add a 360 camera button so that you don't have to go into the center display and locate the camera functionality, etc...   My father's 2024 Yukon XL AT4 and it has a hard button, see below. I found this thread on the Yukons, but it seems like there may not be a part number for the 2021 sierras. https://www.gm-trucks.com/forums/topic/255339-adding-hard-button-for-camera-on-2021/ Anyone else figured this out. Seems like it would need to be a custom switch!   I am getting ready to install the auto stop/start eliminator, so would be nice to knock them out at once.     Upvote1Downvote0Go to comments

      Oil Consumption

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Through the years it hasn't been my typical method as I tried to drop oil on an engine that was hot from having been worked, however that was not always practical and had to fire up a unit and let it warm up reasonably well and drop the oil when I had the time to do it but am referring to not only vehicles but a variety of farm equipment and highway tractors etc. However on a vehicle where one is crawling under it and the exhaust is nearby to ones body and if wanting to pull the plug without danger of being hit with boiling hot oil or attempting to remove a HOT oil filter, its sure safer and easier to not have everything smoking hot and can remove the filter right away when under the vehicle and let it all drain. Of course its not the end of the world if a bit of oil stays in the engine that might have eventually found its way out, I like to get out as much as possible but any oil changes that take place in shops would rarely be sitting around for very long at all before the plug is thrown back in and filter slapped on and oil poured in and sent out the door quick like. There would be very little time spent ( assuming they even did it ) in starting the engine with oil to fill the filter, then waiting to verify the level on the stick. A good reason to check ones oil level shortly after a shop changed the oil on a vehicle just to make sure its correct and to look under for any oil around the drain plug or filter.
