General Motors is recalling 463,995 model year 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500s, Cadillac CT6s and GMC Sierra 1500s.

Due to an Electronic Brake Control Module (EBCM) software error, the vehicle's Electronic Stability Control (ESC) and Antilock Brake System (ABS) may become disabled.

If this specific error occurs, the vehicle's diagnostics will not illuminate the instrument cluster ESC and ABS malfunction warning lights.

If the driver is unaware that ESC and ABS are not functioning, there is an increased risk of a crash.

What to do

GM will notify owners, and dealers will reprogram the EBCM free of charge.

The recall is expected to begin January 27, 2020.

Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at (800) 222-1020, Cadillac customer service at (800) 333-4223, or GMC customer service at (888) 988-7267. GM's number for this recall is N192268090.
