GM Forced to Recall Trucks Again Due to Tailgate Issues
General Motors has decided to recall a number of trucks due to issues with tailgates that may unexpectedly open while driving. This recall affects over 38,000 vehicles, primarily the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra models manufactured from 2022 to 2023.
The reason for this recall is the inadequate safety of the mechanism that keeps the tailgates securely closed. GM engineers discovered that under certain circumstances, such as if the truck experiences strong vibrations or if it is improperly installed, the tailgates can open, posing a serious risk to drivers and other road users.
GM has already notified the owners of the affected vehicles about the need to visit service centers for necessary checks and modifications. The company promises that all work will be performed free of charge for vehicle owners, ensuring their safety on the road.
Similar issues have previously arisen with GM, and the company is actively working to improve its quality and safety standards to prevent the recurrence of such unpleasant situations in the future. The recall was initiated in accordance with safety regulations, and GM will continue its efforts to ensure the safest possible conditions for all users of its vehicles.
Owners are expected to be able to go through the inspection and repair processes within the coming weeks, and the company has stated that they are ready to provide all necessary information for this process.
GM encourages its customers to stay updated on any communications from the company, as safety remains a priority. A special support hotline will also be created to assist vehicle owners with questions and to provide further clarifications.
Earlier this year, other automakers also faced safety-related issues, highlighting the importance of regular inspections and recalls due to identified deficiencies. GM is confident that the measures taken will help restore customer trust and enhance their satisfaction with the quality of the company’s products.
