"2020-2024 Chevy Silverado, GMC Sierra Pickup Trucks Recalled for Tailgate Safety Issue"

General Motors is recalling nearly 820,000 Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra pickup trucks due to a potential safety issue with the electronic latch mechanism in the tailgate, which may short circuit if water enters the tailgate, causing it to open inadvertently while the vehicle is parked. The recall covers vehicles from 2020-2024 and includes over 570,000 sold in the US and about 249,000 sold in Canada. Owners are advised to manually close their tailgate before driving until the recall is complete, and dealers will replace the exterior switch with more water-resistant material.
