2 recalls on the 2019 Chevrolet 6500hd
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:SOFTWARE
NHTSA 20V319000- The defect
- General Motors is recalling certain 2019-2020 Chevrolet 4500HD, 5500HD, and 6500HD Medium Duty trucks. If the vehicle's body control module (BCM) loses communication with the vehicle's electronic brake control module (EBCM), the EBCM software programming may not illuminate the vehicle's ABS malfunction indicator light (MIL). As such, these vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) Number 105, "Hydraulic and Electric Brake Systems."
- The risk
- If a driver is unaware that the ABS system is malfunctioning, there may be an increased risk of a crash.
- The fix
- GM will notify owners, and dealers will update the software calibration for the body control module (BCM). The recall began June 29, 2020. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020. GM's number for this recall is N202305070.

- The risk
- An electrical short in the brake pressure switch can overheat the circuit and increase the risk of a fire while driving or parked.
- The fix

Repairs for safety recalls are free and never expire. A dealer cannot charge you, and cannot refuse on the grounds that the car is old or out of warranty. If one does, call the NHTSA hotline on 1-888-327-4236.
