Hey all! I just got a brand new 2020 Denali off the showroom floor . It has a message in the dash  “service brake assist”. It was even on while I took it for a test drive. Long story short Looks like the dealer is replacing the master cylinder. Not sure what the full scope of the techs report is yet, I’ll keep everyone posted. My vin has no recall in the NHTSA,  but that can always change..

Amazing they still cant get it right ...  the brake system on the 19s was a total foul up of software and master cylinders.

I have the same issue on my 2020, purchased a month ago. Just brought it in with less than 500 miles on it. They “reprogrammed all the modules” and the fault cleared. Two days later, the fault appears again every time I start it. Bringing it in again this week. What led them to replace the master cylinder? Please let us know when you find out.

Hey all! All they told me is that it was a major recall. I think they didn’t want me to be upset, after I only had the truck a week. They replaced brake master cylinder, brake module, and replaced all the brake lines. I’ll say the dealer did a great job, I couldn’t even tell they did all that work, as I also am a former Tech myself. It was Big  job especially for a brand new truck with 100 miles on it . I will say the code is gone so far, almost a week now, the code would come back hours later after they cleared it, I’m pretty confident they fixed it. Here is a copy of the report. I would absolutely keep hounding your local dealer to fix the code, it’s in for a reason, and it’s not going to go away!

My pleasure, I was once in the dark about this. I’m so glad I could help others with this info. Apparently the infamous brake recall they had a couple years ago has lingered into the 2020 models as well. Just be very careful driving it. I did not experience any brake lag or failure,  it only had the annoying light on. But I’ve read other posts who had the same light and had brake issues. Aside from that how do you like your truck? I love it, I refuse to let the recall stop me from enjoying it!

Not sure as to why they would put lines in?  Something must have failed in the brake module to get the module/master assembly though.  The recall(s) are nothing more than reprograms to the brake module.

I mis1quoted looks like he reinstalled the lines .. but I was surprised as well as to the amount of work needed from the fix. So something from the previous recalls must have been amended by GM to fix the issue, for all we know this could be a new issue itself..

Thanks for the update. Mine is back at the dealer now for over a day now. I’ll update this thread when I hear what the issue/fix was.

 

I love it other than this issue that hopefully gets solved soon!

Maybe, but they did way more work than that. I attached the report from the tech in the earlier post of the chain. Keep in mind new recalls and procedures can be issued/changed/modified from the manufacturer at anytime. I believe the original fix was a software update , then that turned out to be disastrous, then there was a replacement fix for that recall...I could be wrong, just thought I read that somewhere. Thanks for the reply!

I got mine back from the dealer yesterday. It was generating a new code from when I had it in last week. They replaced the master cylinder, same as the notes posted above. So it appears more than just a re-flash. Hopefully it’s solved now.

Hey! 
 

well I’m glad to hear they took you seriously, and started somewhere to fix it. I’m betting you will be good to go though now! So far I still have no codes after that procedure.

Brand new Silverado 400 miles.  All lights came on.  (Trailer brake asst, abs, check engine light) brake pedal was really hard. Truck will not pass 42 mph.  Not happy.  I used to have a Toyota truck never had a issue in 7 years.  I think this truck is a lemon.   Going to the dealer on monday.   ????

      Is the 6.2L L87 in a 2026 Sierra 1500 ok?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      What meaningful corrections were done to fix the "machining errors?"   I bet nothing, because the 6.2 is soon to be obsolete. Why would GM implement any fix let alone an "expensive one?"   Until someone can provide any convincing information that GM did ANYTHING to correct the engines - the 6.2 is no for me.    Which means keeping the 2016 Denali longer until the next generation (6.6?) proves itself.

      If my father took a Sunday off. We did the Sunday drive. Usually stopping at a Geno’s for dinner that we eat in the car. Six of us with my little sister up front. It was always a Buick growing up. In New Jersey you couldn’t get lost. Not like Texas.

      Some Assembly is Required

      I suppose I am Atlas. It can always be worse, eh?   I had a friend once that rolled one payment into another until he was paying the price of Benz for a 10 year old back marker. Wouldn't be often you start a new payment the month following your old one.

      I still enjoy the drive   Some people fish when they retire; some golf. I drive. We've lived in the same general area now for twenty eight years and I'm still finding at least monthly some sweet quite little road to explore. When I tell the Mrs. I'm heading out for coffee she knows that could be a five hour event. Often she even goes along.    I like finding new rural routes used mainly by the locals that start nowhere in particular and end the same way. Many in the area of that type are narrow paved and twisty, hilly and run through field and timber. Often along creeks or wetlands. Unfarmable areas of great natural beauty.    After years of this type of exploration they start to fit together. One ending a mile or so from another and you start threading together a new path from a unfamiliar place to a new adventure. Sometimes to a little town of under five hundred that used to be something before the Interstate or some railroad or US highway bled the life out of it that has a small dinner with the greatest slice of pie you've eaten since grandma made her last. A little village museum or library or even a town square park with grand old oak, walnut and Osage orange trees to sit under while you sip you gas station coffee and chat up some locals.    Often they are full of stories about the main streets more interesting buildings and the who's who of the area. Sometimes some hidden attraction or unseen history. Our area is full of old coal mines.     A younger self used to do this going cross country by motorcycle. Only a general area as a destination with no time to get there and no time to be back. Sitting at days end in a 10 unit off the main highway motel under a Sycamore tree yacking with the owner or his one semipermanent guest while I adjusted valves or the chain. Always a wave and a shout "Hey there stranger"!  It's how I came by my love of old Brit iron. There is no such things as a ten minute gas stop when your on a Enfield or a vintage Triumph. Same being true of old cars.    If you take the time to really look I've found everywhere is someplace interesting. Illinois or West Virginia. Different and yet the same.    People are in a more relaxed mood and will talk about anything and everything and if they like you there may be a cupp'a or a lemonade and a sandwich in it. 😉
