General Motors has recalled more than 900,000 trucks and cars worldwide over electrical and braking problems that could make crashes more likely.
One of the two recalls covers more than 550,000 Cadillac CT6 sedans, Chevrolet Silverado 1500 trucks and GMC Sierra 1500 pickups. A software error in the vehicles could cause their electronic stability control and antilock brake systems to become disabled, increasing the risk of a crash, according to documents the National Highway Traffic Safety administration posted Thursday.
The other recall affects more than 400,000 Silverado 1500 and Sierra 1500 trucks from 2019 and 2020. A battery cable with too much glue could interrupt an electrical connection, raising the risk of a crash or a fire, the recall documents say.
The two recalls affect more than 814,000 vehicles in the US, and some vehicles are covered by both recalls. While there has been one reported fire, no injuries have been linked to either problem.
Both recalls will begin Jan. 27 in the US, records show. Vehicle owners can have the issues fixed for free.
