(Reuters) -The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said on Tuesday that General Motors is recalling about 132,037 trucks due to concerns about tailgates unlatching unexpectedly.
The recall affects certain 2024 models of Chevrolet Silverado HD 2500, 3500, and GMC Sierra HD 2500, 3500 vehicles equipped with power-unlatching tailgates.
Water intrusion may cause the tailgate's electronic gate-release switch to short circuit, potentially resulting in unintended unlatching while the vehicle is in Park.
The U.S. auto safety regulator advised owners of affected models to ensure that the tailgate is securely closed and latched before driving.
GM said it was "working to quickly remedy this matter."
Dealers will replace the exterior touchpad switch assemblies for free, the NHTSA said.
