General Motors will recall 461,839 vehicles over an issue with transmission, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said on Wednesday.
The recall involves some models of 2020-2022 Chevrolet Silverado, GMC Sierra, 2021 Cadillac Escalade, Chevrolet Tahoe and GMC Yukon, among others.
The transmission control valve on the impacted vehicles may fail causing the rear wheels to lock up, the NHTSA said, which would increase the risk of a crash.
To fix the issue, dealers will install a new transmission control module software free of charge and GM will provide a special coverage program for repairing transmissions identified as containing a defective control valve.
GM also asked its dealers to immediately stop the delivery of the affected vehicles.
