Got 2 emails today for my HD's for a recall for the tailgates dropping. I logged in the the MyGMC app for specific's and it shows it includes Canadians 1500's.

 

I'm betting USA 1500's will be included before it's over with...

Good to know. Mine just unlatched by itself after returning home from a carwash (probable  water intrusion). 2023 Trail Boss made in Silao MX.

Interesting. Friend of mine had a 2020 Sierra 1500 that would unlatch while driving. Dealer could never find anything. He got rid of it. Same cause maybe? I will keep an eye on my 23 Sierra 1500.

Does this apply to multiPro/Flex tailgates or just the traditional ones?

Power unlatching. Any with the button not the traditional handle.

My 2021 tailgate power switch within the rear "handle" has indeed failed. No opening of tailgate except by dash switch or remote now.

 

Separate actual trips to two GM dealer's parts counters has found no replacement electric tail gate switch available and zero NOS switches available any where in Canada.

Inquiring minds not giving up, a call to a "jobber" parts outlet concludes the black plastic handle/housing is available for $70 but no electrical giblets are sold through them, including any kind of electrical latch switch.

I'm watching this one, mine hasn't unlatched it's self but I have had a few times where pushing the button to open hasn't worked and I had to use the remote to open it. Just turned over 3000 miles.

A call to your dealer service department will let you know if your truck is part of the recall. I was in for an oil change and tire rotation last week and asked the service writer to check. Mine is not in the recall.

Hopefully that up-graded tail gate switch is soon to be released!?

 

Now when I approach the truck with fob, that tailgate latch locks and unlocks like mad! No doubt the next issue will be a tail gate lock system mechanical failure due to being worn out!

Chances are I'm going to have to duck tape this tailgate shut?

 

Good times.....

"Duct" tape did OK except at freeway speed. Therefore "duct" tape has been cancelled. i removed the inner tailgate panel and disconnected the bogus switches' connector within the tailgate. Not a difficult job to isolate.

 

A quick call to my local GM dealer parts concluded no release date yet for the upgraded switch.

 

Put the panel back on the tail gate. Back to the freeway, without "duct" tape.

 

Party on.

dealer called me yesterday about a recall for programming of the headlights. We also discussed the open recall on this truck for the tailgate issue. 

Seems there is still not a solution --- but the dealer is a method to disable the tailgate buttons so thay can no longer send the request to open to the BCM. (presumably they do the same as @Delta Tango mentioned and disconnect the switch)

 

Tailgate will still open using the FOB or the button inside truck.

 

For some this will be a reasonable temporary solution.

I have a 22 LTD with the power release tailgate.  Never had any issues with mine and this truck lives outside 24/7. I checked my VIN on the Chevy Recall lookup and it says there are no open recalls for my truck. 
 

Still gonna keep an eye on it…

      Another 6.2L engine failure!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      My 2025 Silverado 1500 had to receive a brand-new engine (long block) under warranty last month at only around 16,500 miles. Before the replacement, the truck repeatedly displayed "Engine Oil Level Low" warnings, even though the Oil Life Monitor still showed around 50% remaining after about 6,000 miles since my last oil change. After seeing the warning several times, I checked the dipstick with the engine cold, and the oil level was completely normal. The next day, the message escalated to "Add Engine Oil." At first, I assumed it was just a faulty oil level sensor, so I brought the truck to the dealership. After inspecting the engine, they found internal cylinder wall scoring and ultimately replaced the entire long block under warranty. Before this happened, I was planning to install a 4-inch lift and suspension upgrade on my truck. After needing a new engine at just 16,500 miles, I honestly don't see the point anymore. I also contacted GM to ask whether my vehicle qualified for a buyback, but I was informed that it does not at this time. Anyway, this experience has left me with serious concerns about the long-term reliability of this engine. I sincerely hope NHTSA expands the current investigation or recall to include 2025 model and performs a thorough inspection of affected vehicles. My biggest concern is that these engines may fail shortly after the powertrain warranty expires. If GM truly stands behind this engine, then at the very least, please consider extending the powertrain warranty to 10 years for affected owners. That would go a long way toward restoring customer confidence.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Without exception but then I'm the odd duck, right? I know what goes into that test, how it is calculated and thus how to beat it. But EPA values are often not beaten by the general public and the government has in past years adjusted the means and methods to come to those values to more closely approximate "Joe Average".    The only real trick to beating that EPA average is don't drive like "Joe Average".    It's the same method you used to profit from "Economic Migration" and in doing so beat the 'stats'. But you, like me, are not "Joe Average".     The thing you don't seem to grasp is this "Purchasing Power Index" isn't forward looking. It doesn't predict what it going to be but looks backward and states what it was. They are not telling us what the THINK, they are telling us what they MEASURED. Example:    Wife says "I'm going to lose 40 pounds by Christmas". May she does, maybe she doesn't but the doctors office who weighed her when she made that statement and again at Christmas only REPORTS what the RESULT was. You and I can banter about what was possible and what aunt Tilly did till the cows come home but the result is the result. Arguing otherwise is.....irrational. That's all I'm saying. This isn't about:      What you are calling a 'Statistic' is a RESULT not a CALCUATION and as a result the RULE. Like gravity as a rule, it can not be broken.

      Rattle in the rear!

      By MASONV88888888 · Posted

      Just wanted to say thank you for posting this. Years later, your thread is still helping Silverado owners.   I bought my 2025 Silverado 1500 in January 2025, and I've had what feels like the exact same rattle since day one. After reading your findings, I believe my truck has the same issue with the cable carrier contacting the rear sliding window. To be honest, I had pretty much given up on pursuing the issue. It wasn't until I recently drove another brand's pickup that I realized just how quiet their cabin was—and how noisy mine has been all along. On my truck, the rattle happens on almost any paved road, gets even worse on rougher pavement, and I can even hear it during braking and acceleration.   I actually referenced your thread when submitting my case to GM, hoping they'll recognize this as a recurring issue instead of treating it as an isolated incident. The reason I reached out to GM first is because my dealership told me they would need to keep the truck for at least two days just to diagnose the problem. I was concerned that even after two days, they still might not be able to identify the source of the rattle before giving the truck back to me. I had also asked a few dealerships about this issue during previous service visits, but none of them seemed to know what was causing it or had a solution. That's why I decided to contact GM directly first, hoping they might already have an official repair procedure or guidance for this issue.   I also hope GM eventually comes up with an official fix for this problem. I have a feeling there are many Silverado owners experiencing the same rattle, but most either choose to live with it or simply don't know what the cause is.   Really appreciate you taking the time to document your diagnosis. Your post is still making a difference years later.

      Do you have access to BP fuels? Some stations have Silver 91 E-0 priced the same as their 93 E-10.  There is a local Marathon with 90 alky free for $6 a gallon but I go down the road to BP for $5-ish. They also have a 100 E-0 but that stuff is $10 a pop.
