This is exactly what they did to mine. And again what's it supposed to fix?

As near as I can tell from a conversation with service advisor and a document I found online. Fixes a potential problem with the battery draining after an over the air update.

 

Here is the GM document.

I think there are 4 versions of N24243563 as mine was N24243563-04

 

The initial document I found without the -04 had different info.

A) The slated time allotted for this update appears to be two hours based on the conversation I had with the Service Writer when I made my appointment. B) The length of time indicated is apparent

We've done a bunch of these.  Its 1.5-2.5 hours depending on internet connection, GM servers and how busy they are, etc.     Big thing is the order the steps are done in.  Radio update is ty

I will keep everyone posted. I'm going in tomorrow for a oil change (doing that while still under warranty then will do them myself at home) and to have the recall work performed.

The -XX seems to be like a revision number. For example, the one you linked is -03 and would be superceded by a -04 version of the document.

 

The revisions will add VIN's, but it may also update specific fixes that are being targeted. My understanding is that this recall will address the specific concern listed (possibly why it's being done as a recall since it's important that everyone gets it and many, like me, refuse to allow the OTA's due to historical issues) but may also address other problems that would have otherwise been addressed through an OTA. We shall see if I ever get my truck back as I will look to see whether there's a pending OTA or not afterward. And I do know that a software update released somewhere in the last few months or so specifically addressed the HVAC fan cut-out and radio audio drop-out issues at startup...

 

I also know from my own personal experience that the Data Gateway is a critical piece in these vehicles - every single component that has any sort of communications / monitoring associated with it has that data pass through this ONE module. If anything there is off, it can cause a meltdown of the truck...

Recall notice that comes up in the phone app also says:

 

"Certain model years and vehicle makes noted in the table above may have a condition where where the battery is at risk for a drain following an over-the-air update".

and

"Dealers are to reprogram the serial data gateway module and the radio"

My 2024 RST goes in tomorrow morning for the update.  I have both the A/C fan speed issue and the radio volume issue.  The email notification I received also says this will "optimize the vehicle for future over-the-air updates".  My fingers are crossed.  We shall see!

That is what I was told for my previous software update a few weeks ago when I took it in.

That's a way so say it without acknowledging that sometimes OTA process was faulting and then draining the battery

That's a generic way to admit that the OTA process was borked from the start due to bad software on the module and the only way to correct it was via a manual reprogramming (recall).

Otoh,  OTA didn't always fail.

Define "fail." The one and only OTA I did on my truck -seemed- to be fine... Until all sorts of weird stuff started happening.

 

Also, due to what seems like a fairly significant number of trucks that were 'bricked' due to bad OTA updates, it definitely seems like GM determined that their OTA process and the underlying software that is/was the base firmware of that module was the root cause and needed a manual update to correct the issue and ensure the problems didn't persist.

Mine has had at least 4 OTA's.  

At little over a year since the last one and still no issues.

I'd say they didn't fail. 

 

Yes, we've all read posts from those that ended up needing service after an OTA attempt.

I'd say those were clearly fails.

Right, but what I'm saying is my OTA went fine. Then things slowly deteriorated over the next 45 days with no indication of what was going on. The fix, ultimately, was to manually reprogram the gateway module because the software had been corrupted.

 

When i say "define fail", I mean you have to look at the update as a whole. Just because things may have appeared to continue to operate correctly after an OTA doesn't mean that the OTA didn't cause an issue that hasn't (yet) reared its head. Impacts were very different for those that experienced noticeable issues. My truck wasn't 'bricked', but after a week at the dealer to try and fix a laundry list of complaints I had, they handed it back having found absolutely nothing (purely because there "were no codes") and it threw up all over itself halfway home with every possible error it could have thrown. THAT'S when they went "oh! those problems!" and actually did some troubleshooting to find the problems and fix them.

How about the 2017 silverado radio! Won't hold stations,  affects my information center as well.

 

 

Completely different radio.

 

Have it diagnosed at the dealer.  Probably a bad touch screen or HMI module.

Yes, the OTA could have introduced a hidden problem that later appeared.

 

But just as easy, the hidden problem could have been there all along and the OTA had nothing to do with it. 

 

 

My trucks has lots of running since its last OTA (over a year and about 20,000 miles ago and it hasn't had 'issues'. 

 

It scheduled for the 'recall' tomorrow.

Hard to know for sure since it isn't clear what version of the software is flashed on these modules from the factory. Given that the recall has been expanded to include more vehicles from more model years, it's possible that it was originally introduced as an OTA and has maybe also been found on newer trucks if they were already flashed with the newer software from the factory.

      Vehicle Payments

      This is interesting. My quote tagged here is different from my original quote. After I’m driving them longer. That isn’t me. I don’t talk that way. I definitely wouldn’t express myself that way. Interesting.

      What have you done to your K2 today?

      By UrbanRage · Posted

      I have the same running boards on my truck and I do agree they are bulky. I also find myself stepping over them when getting in and out of the truck. Besides providing protection to the rocker panels, they aren't very useful.  I will be replacing them soon with the Amp Powersteps.

      Vehicle Payments

      By ChristopherDobson · Posted

      Monthly payment is only part of the equation. With today's prices and interest rates, I'd look at the total monthly cost: payment, insurance, registration, fuel, maintenance, and expected repairs. A vehicle that fits comfortably into your budget is usually the better choice than stretching for a higher trim. I've also kept my vehicles longer over the past few years. New cars have gotten expensive enough that driving one for 10+ years, while staying on top of maintenance, often ends up being the most cost-effective approach.

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      10 Ford and Chevy engines proven to reach 300,000 miles   You may note a common 3K OCI on this list of gas motors. I skipped over the diesels. Dh'O.

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

      By jake111 · Posted

      Thanks newdude!  By the time manual selection is needed, I'm probably too much of a control-freak to depend on the transmission sensing braking to activate automatic downshifting.  I would be anticipating the situation and already be manually downshifting.   This truck replaced a 2004.5 LLY diesel with the Allison 5-speed.  Putting it in T/H made noticeable differences (when the torque converter locked, upshift points, downshift behavior).  On this 2024 gasser with the 10L1000 I haven't been able to detect much, if any, difference.  Ok, I can never tell now when the torque converter locks up.  But I also don't notice differences in shifting.  For downhills, I've probably already manually downshifted by then anyway.  Since it's also more awkward (than the 2004.5) to engage/disengage I don't even bother.  Or maybe it doesn't really matter with just a 3k lb. camper in the bed?   Thanks also for the list of reasons the charging system might select various voltages.  However, what I am seeing doesn't fall into any of those categories.  It very definitely, and very consistently, rises after coasting/braking.  Maybe not immediately, but not very long after coasting/braking.  Very consistently drops voltage when no longer coasting/braking.  It might also be interacting with the camper battery charging (I might disconnect the camper and see if it changes the charging behavior).  I also need to recheck turning on headlights for when I want to force it to charge the camper.   Another JR, in June I converted the camper to LiFePO4.  Since it's not a good idea to try to charge lithiums directly using truck, I installed a Victron Orion XS DC-DC charger (which BTW is AMAZING!!).  Being cheap, I only had to buy that one item (besides the battery, of course) to do the conversion.  The camper OEM 120v battery charger (only 19 years old and works perfectly) and the truck feed the input to the DC-DC charger (not at the same time).  But I didn't want the camper charger feeding back to the truck so I kept the old separator.  I considered replacing the separator with a 30amp diode but that means more work and might add another 1/2 volt drop.  One thing that surprised me was the voltage drop over the long 10awg wire run, so I can only charge smoothly at 8 amps (because the DC-DC charger is completely configurable).  Another reason I don't want an added voltage drop with the diode.  I might also be a little lazy but all this work is being done under the sink with a small cabinet opening.
