What happened

General Motors is recalling certain 2015-2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, 2500, and 3500 trucks, 2015-2016 Chevrolet Tahoe Police Pursuit Vehicles, and 2015-2016 GMC Sierra 2500 and 3500 trucks manufactured between October 2013 and February 2016. The brake pedal pivot nut on these vehicles may loosen, causing the brake pedal to become loose or inoperative, which could prevent the driver from stopping the vehicle using the brake pedal. A loose pedal could also interfere with the accelerator pedal, increasing the risk of a crash.

GM will notify owners at no cost, and dealers will add adhesive to the brake pedal pivot nut and reinstall it with increased torque. The recall began on March 14, 2016. Affected consumers should contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020 or GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782 to arrange service, referencing recall number 20760.
