Warren, MI – April 7, 2026 – General Motors (NYSE:GM), which owns the Chevrolet and GMC brands, is recalling 11,787 pickup trucks that may lose power while driving. This defect ups the chances of a crash and injury.
The following models are affected:
- 2025 – 2026 GMC Sierra 3500
- 2025 – 2026 Chevrolet Silverado 3500
Recall summary
The affected trucks have dual fuel tanks for extended range – a primary at the front and a secondary one behind it. Due to a software glitch, the fuel pump inside the rear tank may fail to transfer gasoline into the front tank, which could starve the engine and cause it to abruptly seize.
Recall risks
A stalled truck may get hit by other vehicles, especially in dense or fast-moving traffic.
