The 2024 GMC Sierra 2500 has 3 recalls, the most serious involving the steering gear shaft, which can fracture and disconnect from the steering arm, causing a complete and sudden loss of steering control.
The remaining two recalls both involve the power-unlatching tailgate and describe the same underlying issue: water can intrude into the electronic gate-release switch, causing a short circuit that unlatches the tailgate without any input from the driver. This affects vehicles equipped with the power-unlatching tailgate option. The tailgate can then swing open while the truck is moving, dropping whatever cargo is in the bed onto the road and creating a hazard for vehicles behind. The issue can also occur while the truck is parked, which may allow the tailgate to open unnoticed before the driver pulls away.
