General Motors has issued a recall for 3.4 million of their SUVs and trucks. Braking issues are responsible for 113 accidents so far.
After an investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), General Motors is recalling 3.4 million of their trucks and SUVs, due to a problem with the vehicles' brakes as they age. The recall was issued on September 6.
Last year, General Motors (GM) received 111 complaints from vehicle owners about braking problems, which, at that time, had already been the cause of nine accidents and two injuries. Almost a year after the NHTSA's investigation began, the issue (which has to do with the power-assist pump) has now been the culprit in 113 accidents and 13 injuries.
The vehicles included in the recall are:
- 2014-2018 Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra 1500, 2500, and 3500
- 2015-2017 Cadillac Escalade
- 2015-2018 GMC Yukon, Chevy Suburban, and Tahoe
