Saudi Ministry announces recall of over 16,000 GMC, Chevrolet and Cadillac vehicles

The failing light creates a safety concern since it can fail to notify drivers of important brake system problems, therefore causing possible accidents.

Among the recalled vehicles are 6,896 GMC models—more especially, Yukon, Yukon XL, and Sierra LD from the 2023–2024 model years. Affected are also 8,527 Chevrolet cars from the same model years including the Tahoe, Suburban, and Silverado LD. Finally, the recall includes 549 Cadillac cars, including Escalade and Escalade ESV from the 2023–2024 manufacturing years. Brake systems on these cars might not be sufficient to give enough warning when hydraulic pressure or brake fluid level changes, therefore compromising braking performance and raising the risk of collisions.

The Ministry claims that in situations when the brake fluid level falls below the acceptable level or when there is an oil leak, the malfunctioning defective brake warning light could fail to operate properly. This might stop the driver from noticing the brake system of the car is malfunctioning, so lowering the brake performance and raising the collision risk. Emphasizing the possible risk such a failure can create, the ministry advised drivers to take quick care of the problem to guarantee their safety on the road.

The Ministry of Commerce has recommended owners of the impacted vehicles to contact the local agents of their respective brands in order to fix the problem. These cover Aljomaih Automotive Company, General Motors Company, and Global Agencies Company, For client aid all three organizations have sent toll-free numbers: General Motors at 8008200048, Aljomaih Automotive at 8007525, and Global Agencies at 8002442, To arrange a free update of their brake warning light system, vehicle owners are urged to get in touch with these representatives right away, This service will guarantee that the brake light operates as it should, thereby notifying drivers should hydraulic pressure or brake fluid level in their vehicles causes change.

Drivers may confirm whether their car is included in the recall effort by visiting the website of the Defective Products Recall Center at Recalls.sa and verifying the chassis number. This stage is essential to determine whether the car need the required repairs to fix the malfunctioning brake warning light.

The recall of more than 16,000 GMC, Chevrolet, and Cadillac cars points to a major safety concern about the brake warning light system.
