General Motors recalls more than 323,000 pickup trucks. Here's which models are impacted

The unlatching tailgate could result in the loss of cargo while the vehicle is being driven, causing a road hazard and increasing the risk of an accident.

The vehicles impacted are:
2020-2024 Chevrolet Silverado 2500.

How do I get the vehicles fixed?
Owners are advised to check that the tailgate is closed and latched before driving. Dealers will replace the exterior touchpad switch assemblies, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed on March 18, 2024.
