What happened

General Motors is recalling certain 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 and 3500 and GMC Sierra 2500 and 3500 vehicles. The hood-latch striker wires on replacement hoods installed during a previous safety recall (20V-142) may not have been properly heat-treated, which could cause them to fracture. If the striker wire fractures, the hood may open unexpectedly while the vehicle is being driven, increasing the risk of a crash.

GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the hood assembly at no charge. Owners of affected vehicles can contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020 or GMC customer service at 1-888-988-7267 with recall number N202306490. For hoods sold over the counter, dealers will contact customers with instructions for hood replacement.
