GM is expanding a Chevy Silverado HD, GMC Sierra HD recall by another 132,037 trucks due to an issue with the tailgate unexpectedly opening.

 

## **Existing GMC Sierra, Chevy Silverado HD recall expanded**

 

The [initial GM recall](<https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2024/02/2020-2024-chevy-silverado-hd-recall-tailgates-opening/>) was for 332,000 2020-2024 model-year trucks to replace parts to stop water from intruding into the tailgate causing the tailgate to unexpectedly fall open.

 

Now another 132,037 trucks have been added to this recall.

 

The affected trucks were built between Aug. 1, 2023, and March 8, 2024.

 

According to the [National Highway Traffic Safety Administration](<https://www.nhtsa.gov/?nhtsaId=24V060000>) recall number 24V060000, under certain conditions, water could seep into the tailgates and come into contact with the electronic gate-release switch. This could cause a short circuit, leading to the tailgate unlatching while the truck is in park, resulting in the loss of cargo and increasing the chance of an accident.

 

Owners will be notified by mail to bring their trucks to a dealership to fix this potential issue.
