"Massive Recall: General Motors Pulls Back 820,000 Pickup Trucks"

General Motors is recalling nearly 820,000 Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra pickup trucks from 2020-2024 due to a potential safety issue with the electronic latch mechanism in the tailgate that could short circuit if water gets in, causing the gate to open while the vehicle is parked. The recall, affecting over 570,000 vehicles in the US and 249,000 in Canada, comes after more than 130 complaints of the tailgate opening while driving. General Motors will replace the exterior switch with a more water-resistant material and will begin notifying affected customers on March 18.
