Just saw that GM is recalling over 132k trucks because of a tailgate issue that's actually pretty wild. Apparently the power-unlatching mechanism can short-circuit if water gets in there, and then the tailgate just pops open randomly while you're parked. Sounds like a safety nightmare honestly. They're replacing the touchpad switch assemblies for free, so at least that part's covered. This affects the 2024 Silverado HD and Sierra HD models specifically. What gets me is this isn't even GM's first major recall lately - they had like 462k vehicles recalled last month over transmission issues and another huge one before that for faulty brake warning lights. Kind of makes you wonder what's going on with their quality control right now. If you own one of these trucks, dealers should be sending notification letters soon. Just make sure your tailgate is actually latched before you drive - probably good advice anyway but especially now.
