Recall Title:

Brake System Malfunction Warning

Recall Description:

General Motors has decided that certain 2019 model year Cadillac CT6, Chevrolet Silverado 1500, and GMC Sierra 1500 vehicles may fail to conform to S5.3 of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 126, “Electronic stability control systems for light vehicles” and S5.5.1 of FMVSS 135, “Light vehicle brake systems.” In these vehicles, a software error can, in rare cases, disable the vehicle’s electronic stability control (ESC) and antilock brake system (ABS) systems for a single ignition cycle. If this specific error occurs, the vehicle’s diagnostics will not illuminate the vehicle’s ESC and ABS telltale lamps, as required by S5.3 of FMVSS 126 and S5.1 of FMVSS 135. If the driver is unaware that ESC and ABS are not functioning, there may be increased risk of a crash.

Safety Risk Description:

TBD

Repair Description:

Dealers are to reprogram the brake system control module.

Recall Title:

Loose Alternator Cable

Recall Description:

General Motors has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain 2019 – 2020 model-year Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 vehicles. The B+ battery cable rings in these vehicles may have been contaminated with glue residue at the supplier. During normal vehicle operation, the glue may soften and cause the nut that attaches the B+ battery cable to the alternator to loosen over time, which could lead to an intermittent electrical connection or arcing. During the supplier’s assembly process, excess glue may not have been completely removed from the B+ battery cable rings, resulting in glue contamination that could affect the joint connection between the cable ring and the alternator. An intermittent electrical connection between the B+ battery cable and the alternator could cause the vehicle to stall. The intermittent connection could also lead to arcing, which could generate sufficient heat to damage surrounding material and increase the risk of a fire.

Safety Risk Description:

An intermittent electrical connection between the B+ battery cable and the alternator could cause the vehicle to stall. The intermittent connection could also lead to arcing, which could generate sufficient heat to damage surrounding material and increase the risk of a fire.

Repair Description:

Dealers will inspect the vehicle with a black light for the presence of glue or other contamination at the B+ cable attachment to the alternator. If necessary, dealers will clean the connection and reattach the B+ cable connection. If arcing has damaged the cable, nut, or alternator, the dealer will replace the damaged components.

I guess my previously scheduled service appointment for next week is going to keep the dealer busy. Wow. 

 

 

 

 

[Cpl_Punishment]

From the description, I get the impression that this will just make sure you get a warning light when you have no brakes, rather than fixing the underlying issue of losing brakes. 

[OnTheReel]

I’m actually surprised that these are the first recalls on this truck. My 16 (which was not the first year of a new body style) had one within a week of buying it. This one gave me a 10 month honeymoon period at least, before this deluge of recalls.

 

Have a nice little list of things for them to do next week. Brake % update, defroster vent squeaking like mad on bumps, replacing the plastic trim they broke the last time they worked on it, and now 3 recalls. Better have a damn loaner truck available.

Even better, when I bought my 14 Silverado it had a couple of recalls within the first week.  Since I purchased it about 100 miles away from home I had the local dealer perform the service.  Somehow in a reprogram they bricked the electronics and my truck sat there for a week in a no start condition waiting until someone from GM could figure out what they did.  Good news though they did figure it out and I never had any further issue with the vehicle. Nothing like issues in the first week of ownership, though.

 

On a side note, lucky me..... I have all three recent recalls open on my truck.  Oh well at least I'm not having any issues as the truck has been perfect so far.  Let GM sort out their problems.

[808 HI]

Just had all 3 recalls fixed yesterday along with a brake module swap. Based on the tech, longest part would be swapping the module then completing the recall which is to reprogram it. Other than the 10 hour wait, its painless. 

[Dirtclod]

How did they determine a brake module swap??

the dealer who is dealing with my brake issues looked at me like I was stupid and said the brake module has nothing to do with your brake issues and I replied to him like charging my battery like GM says is the problem? The truck has 6000 miles why not replace the battery. 

[tbarn]

Under warranty, the dealer cannot replace the battery unless it fails a test. Unless the dealer wants to pay for the battery.

[Dirtclod]

That’s understandable?

but I feel they need to at least find out what is pulling voltage to make the brakes malfunction??

i have never heard that a voltage drop will make your brakes go away?

thanks for the reply 

[MacLaren]

So, I got scheduled for the recall, plus they are going to fix my front and rear brake reading. 

He was really cool about the break reading, said they had already fixed a few of them. So, am I missing anything else? 

 

[Dirtclod]

Yes my brake reading had also been adjusted. 
all of my issues started after the recall work was completed. 
just got off the phone this morning with the advisor and this is what I was told direct from a GM bulletin. 
during the re program a charger must be connected to the battery in order for voltage to be maintained in order for the program to stick. 
they call the charger something else but in a nut shell it’s a battery charger. 
the advisor had told me that that charger was apparently not hooked up to mine during the process. 
I was told everything is good and I can pick it up. 
hope this is true I will be pulling a trailer tomorrow with two UTVs up and down the mountains.

As far as I know, the tech must connect the GDIS 2 System to the vehicle to process the software recalls.

[Dirtclod]

Yes on the GDIS 2 but GM released another bulletin 12/20/19 on a must do. 
I obtained a copy of it this morning while picking up my truck. 
hope this sticks!
