General Motors, LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2023 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, 2023-2024 Chevrolet Tahoe, Suburban, GMC Yukon, Yukon XL, Cadillac Escalade, and Escalade ESV vehicles.

The Electronic Brake Control Module (eBCM) software will be updated through an over-the-air (OTA) update or by a dealer, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed October 25, 2024.

Air bags, Engine, Oct 29, 2025
On October 23 I was driving my vehicle and the airbag light and a message service safety restraint appeared. On October 24 I was in route to take the vehicle to the dealership and as I was merging going to the highway the vehicle turned off, lost complete power threw itself into neutral. I had to drive it over to the shoulder to keep from getting hit. I was able to get the vehicle to turn back on and got it to the dealership. This would be the third time that the vehicle has lost power and completely turned off while driving the first time I took it to the dealership. They said they couldn’t find anything wrong. The second time this happened. I took it to the dealership. They said they replaced the gateway module this third time I took it to the dealership they have called me and said they need to replace the OnStar telecommunication module. The vehicle is unsafe. It is a brand new 2024 Tahoe I purchased it new. The vehicle should not be turning off while I’m driving The same messages consistently pop up the airbag in the service safety restraint. They replaced some kind of console at the top and say that that would fix the issue, but it didn’t because the message came back on again the vehicle idols as if it’s gonna turn off whenever I go to stop the vehicle The transmission stutters are like it’s going into a downshift and it acts like he wants to turn off, but it doesn’t it’s only turned off when I’m driving and then it will just shut off.

Low Oil Life notification on phone. Since L87 recall, an oil consumption test was stopped and the new type of oil has been added to the vehicle 5k miles ago. Had to add a full quart to register on dip stick. Will now start another oil consumption test with a dealership. I am very concerned about my families safety.

Entertainment System/Radio -- not working. No audio. No audio noise even when the blinker is engaged. After several visits to the internet/YouTube I understand this has been a common problem with GM models. Some are able to restart under 'safety mode'. My case ... radio comes on when it wants to and then cuts off. My vehicle is 15 months old .. 38,000 miles.

I was driving at a normal speed with my family in the car my son has neck pain since that date and the car just turned off i almost got rear ended and didn’t want to start
Service brakes, Jul 15, 2025
I was driving down the highway last Friday. I went to slow down to get into another lane and My Tahoe started saying “break failure” and I had no breaks to stop my Tahoe. I pressed the break as far down as I could and had no way to stop. I took my foot off the gas and I drove 10 mph to the dealership 1 mile from my location and coasted to a stop. The dealership called today and said they were needing to replace the entire break module and system. I am so scared to drive my car now. I had my children in the car and I thought we were literally going to wreck.

My wife drove the 2024 Tahoe with 13,464 miles to Florida for a beach trip with the kids. The car stopped working while she was driving. The vehicle flashed and the automatic transmission wasn’t changing gears. She manually shifted the gears until arriving at a safe place. The dealer states it is the transmission valve body that needs replaced. The part is on back order and from what the dealer said being built as needed.

Went to my car during lunch at work, turned on but Car won’t crank up. screen says service steering column lock, front collision unavailable
Engine, May 1, 2025
When driving on the highway at 75 mph, my vehicle alerted me to add oil. We immediately pulled off the side of the road checked the oil. There was not even a drop on the dip stick. Had to add 3 quarts of oil to even register on the very tip of the dip stick. Please note we were within 100 miles of being due for an oil change. The vehicle is currently at a Chevy dealership to start the process of inspection and do an oil consumption test. This vehicle is my main transportation to take my children to and from school and activities. We live in Larkspur, our children go to school in Monument and we have sports in Castle Rock, so we drive quite a bit. I’m not sure that I’m comfortable with a small fix and using a different type of oil to see if my engine will be salvageable. My questions: Can you confidently let me leave your dealership and guarantee that my family will be safe and know that my engine will not fail due to the recall issues? If my car engine needs to be rebuilt or replaced do you have a comparable loner car until then? If my car engine needs to be rebuilt or replaced can you confidently say this is not going to affect my resale or trade in value? Do you have a recall trade in credit for a 2025 vehicle? I spent $85k on what I thought was a reliable vehicle for me to drive my 2 children around in. My biggest concern is that my engine stops running while I’m on the highway at a fast speed with or without my family. If my husband wasn’t in my car when the oil notification came on, we probably would have lost our engine. How is GM going to make this right and guarantee safety for my family? How is GM going to help with our frustration, anxiety and loss of time dealing with this mistake of selling vehicles with a defective engine? When will I have these answers?

Unknown but there was many lights on at the time of brake failure. I was driving home from Florida to NJ with my four young children in the vehicle on a 65mph highway when all these lights came on, the brakes completely stopped working and it told me it was reducing speed to 62mph for safety because the brakes were failed. It also stated service svc. By the grace of god I was able to off-road it a bit to get it to slow down to a stop. The second time it happened was in my driveway parked. Inbetween the two incidents I brought my vehicle for regular service and asked them to look at the brakes again for me as this is a major safety concern as well as my transmission slipping and they complete refused and only changed my oil.
Steering, Apr 25, 2025
While driving at approximately 25-30 MPH the steering system locked up for a 2-3 second period not allowing the driver to maintain the desired direction of vehicle movement. The first incident occurred while navigating a turn in the road, the second occurred while turning left at an intersection. The vehicle has since been parked waiting on the dealership to get the vehicle in for diagnostic check to see if the problem can be determined. The occurrences were approximately 1 week apart. The risk is losing control of the vehicle for a short period of time, putting occupants of said vehicle at risk of being in an accident and potentially injured as well as putting other drivers on the road at risk. Vehicle is scheduled to go to dealership on May 7, however dealership is unable to provide a time frame of when they will be able to examine the vehicle. There were no warning indicators on the dashboard prior to the incident occurring nor were there any after the incident occurred.
