General Motors is issuing two recalls that affect more than 900,000 vehicles across the globe over brake software issues and fire risks.
Reuters reports that the car manufacturer will recall more than 550,000 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, Cadillac CT6, and GMC Sierra 1500 models from the 2019 model year due to a potential software issue related to the service brake system notifications.
In testing, General Motors discovered that the car’s vehicles’ diagnostic system will not illuminate the instrument cluster alert in the event of an issue. It will also disable the electronic stability control and ABS braking systems.

The issue is thought to be extremely rare and likely only affects a small number of the vehicles being recalled. As The Truth About Cars notes, General Motors issued a recall for 638,000 trucks and SUVs earlier this year over a faulty wheel-speed sensor that could also throw the vehicles’ software system into a similar error mode.
To fix the latest issue, dealerships will simply need to re-flash the software.
As for the second recall, it involves more than 400,000 2019-2020 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 trucks. The reason for the call back is that the battery positive cable rings may have been manufactured with excessive glue, which could trigger a fire or stall the vehicles. GM will inspect vehicles for excessive glue and, if necessary, replace any damaged components.
No injuries have been linked to either campaign, although there is one report of a fire related to the excessive glue issue.
