The US National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act provides that each vehicle that is subject to a recall of this type must be adequately repaired within a reasonable time after the customer has tendered it for repair. A failure to repair within sixty days after tender of a vehicle is prima facie evidence of failure to repair within a reasonable time. If the condition is not adequately repaired within a reasonable time, the customer may be entitled to an identical or reasonably equivalent vehicle at no charge or to a refund of the purchase price less a reasonable allowance for depreciation. To avoid having to provide these burdensome remedies, every effort must be made to promptly schedule an appointment with each customer and to repair their vehicle as soon as possible. In the recall notification letters, customers are told how to contact the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration if the recall is not completed within a reasonable time.

General Motors has decided that a defect, which relates to motor vehicle safety, exists in certain 2019-2023 model year Chevrolet Silverado Medium Duty 4500HD/5500HD/6500HD vehicles equipped with a 6.6L Duramax Diesel engine. As a result, GM is conducting a safety recall. We apologize for this inconvenience. However, we are concerned about your safety and continued satisfaction with our products.
IMPORTANT
• Your vehicle is involved in GM recall N222375270.
• Schedule an appointment with your GM dealer.
• This service will be performed for you at no charge.
• Until the recall remedy is performed, owners are advised to park their vehicles outdoors. This condition may declare with a “service brake system” malfunction indicator lamp.
Why is your vehicle being recalled?
These vehicles may have a brake pressure sensor assembly that allows brake fluid to leak beyond the diaphragm seal into the pressure switch. The brake fluid may seep into the sensor’s electrical components and short the brake pressure switch and the associated fuse. If brake fluid shorts the brake pressure switch and the associated fuse, the circuit can generate excessive heat that could result in a fire, increasing the risk of injury. An underhood fire may occur when the vehicle is off and possibly unattended.
What will we do?
Your Chevrolet dealer will replace the master cylinder pressure sensor. Dealers will also inspect the associated wire harness and replace if necessary. This service will be performed for you at no charge. Because of service scheduling requirements, it is likely that your dealer will need your vehicle longer than the actual inspection and service correction time of approximately 1-2 hours.
What should you do?
You should contact your GM dealer to arrange a service appointment as soon as possible.
When scheduling your appointment, confirm with the dealer that they service Medium Duty Trucks.
Did you already pay for this repair?
Even though you may have previously had repairs for this condition, you will still need to take your vehicle to your dealer for additional repairs. If you have already paid for repairs for the recall condition, please complete the enclosed reimbursement form and present it to your dealer with all required documents. Working with your dealer will expedite your request, however, if this is not convenient, you may mail the completed reimbursement form and all required documents to Reimbursement Department, PO Box 33170, Detroit, MI 48232-5170.
Do you have questions?

Models: 2019-2023 Chevrolet Silverado Medium Duty 4500HD/5500HD/6500HD
Equipped with 6.6L Duramax Diesel Engine (RPO L5D)
To: All General Motors Dealers
On April 13, 2023, GM sent to all GM dealers GlobalConnect Message GCUS-3-2898 regarding safety recall N222375270.
The required repair to complete this recall is not yet available. Until further instructions are received, the involved vehicles that are in dealers’ possession (new or used vehicle inventory, GM Certified Used, courtesy transportation vehicles, dealer shuttle vehicles, etc.) must be held and cannot be delivered to customers, dealer-traded, released to auction, used for demonstration purposes or put to any other use.
This message is to inform dealers who have involved vehicles in their inventory that they can now apply for the used vehicle Working Capital Assistance Program (“WCAP”) for safety recall N222375270.
Before proceeding with the application process described below, dealers must verify vehicle eligibility based on the program terms and guidelines that were provided in GM GlobalConnect Message GCUS-9-14456 dated March 29, 2023. Applications submitted on ineligible vehicles are subject to chargeback of any incentives paid to the dealer under the WCAP. Because compensation and tracking requires visibility into dealers’ inventory, dealers must also have agreed to a Dealer Data Share agreement with GM in order to receive any compensation under this program.
To apply for the WCAP for safety recall N222375270, dealers must access the GM Global Warranty Management (GWM) system and submit a “ZSET” warranty transaction using the labor code provided below for each eligible vehicle. This zero dollar special transaction type is the dealer’s application for compensation and constitutes a representation from the dealer that the vehicle is eligible for WCAP assistance.
Note: Acceptance of the warranty transaction does not ensure vehicle eligibility or guarantee the provision of any assistance as defined by program terms and guidelines.
Labor Code
Description
Labor Time
Trans Code
9800106
Working Capital Assistance for Safety Recall N222375270
N/A
ZSET
To be eligible for the WCAP, a vehicle must be in dealer inventory at the time the related field action bulletin is released. If a vehicle has been delivered, wholesaled or otherwise disposed of prior to release of the bulletin, the vehicle is not eligible for assistance. Additionally, recalled vehicles taken in on trade may be eligible for assistance if the dealer immediately reports the vehicle in used vehicle inventory via its Dealer Management System (DMS) and makes application through the GWM system.
To ensure that GM is receiving daily inventory information, which is necessary to process payments and make eligibility determinations under the WCAP, the dealer’s vehicles must be properly identified in the dealership’s DMS. A daily feed of this information is provided to GM through the Dealer Data Share (DDS) agreement.
Beginning with the 1st quarter of 2019, all WCAP payments will be facilitated through the Global Warranty Management (GWM) system. For each eligible vehicle, a qualifying dealer will submit for WCAP vehicle enrollment with a “ZSET” transaction type and for reimbursement with a “ZFAT” transaction type both through the GWM system. If approved, a WCAP credit for that vehicle will be issued through the GWM system similar to any other warranty credit. WCAP submission instructions and the required labor code will also be provided in the appropriate field action bulletin. Each WCAP transaction being credited will be clearly identified on the dealer’s daily credit memo.
In order to receive payment, a dealer must have timely reported the vehicle in used vehicle inventory, retained the vehicle until the related field action bulletin is released, and properly applied for the WCAP payment. The vehicle must also be otherwise eligible under WCAP rules and guidelines.
GM reserves the right to amend, modify, terminate, or cancel this program at any time in its sole discretion.

To: All General Motors Medium Duty Dealers
STOP DELIVERY ORDER
Effective immediately, stop the delivery of certain 2019-2023 model year Chevrolet Silverado Medium Duty 4500HD/5500HD/6500HD vehicles in new or used vehicle inventory. General Motors has notified the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) about a safety recall that involves these vehicles. The GM recall number is N222375270.
It is a violation of federal law for a dealer to deliver a new motor vehicle or any new or used item of motor vehicle equipment (including a tire) covered by this notification until the defect is remedied.
These vehicles may have a brake pressure sensor assembly that allows brake fluid to leak beyond the diaphragm seal into the pressure switch. The brake fluid may seep into the sensor’s electrical components and short the brake pressure switch and the associated fuse. If brake fluid shorts the brake pressure switch and the associated fuse, the circuit can generate excessive heat that could result in a fire, increasing the risk of injury. An underhood fire may occur when the vehicle is off and possibly unattended.
Until the recall remedy is performed, owners are advised to park their vehicles outdoors. This condition may declare with a “service brake system” malfunction indicator lamp.
Parts are not currently available, but when parts are available, dealers will replace the master cylinder pressure sensor. Dealers will also inspect the associated wire harness and replace if necessary.
Until further instructions are received, involved vehicles that are in dealers’ possession (new or used vehicle inventory, GM Certified Used, courtesy transportation vehicles, dealer shuttle vehicles, etc.) must be held and not delivered to customers, dealer-traded, released to auction, used for demonstration purposes or any other dealer use. All GM Certified Used vehicles currently in the dealers’ inventory within the Certified Pre-Owned Inventory System (CPOIS) will be de-certified.
The Investigate Vehicle History (IVH) screen in the Global Warranty Management (GWM) system has been updated for this recall. This action has been taken to assist dealers with determining which vehicles are involved so they can properly respond to customer inquiries.
A list of involved vehicles that have been identified as being in dealer new vehicle inventory is attached to this message. It is sorted by dealer Business Associate Code (BAC) for easy reference. Your dealership’s BAC will not be listed if none of the involved vehicles are currently in your new vehicle inventory. To identify involved vehicles in dealer used inventory, run an Open VIN Report or Field Action Initiation Report using Field Action Reports-GFAM within the Maxis Dealer Application in GlobalConnect.
Frequently Asked Questions Document (FAQs)
Attached to this message you will find a document that addresses the ten most likely questions customers may have regarding this Safety Recall. Please use this information as an aid to confidently answer customer concerns.
Until the recall bulletin is released, the Investigate Vehicle History (IVH) screen in the Global Warranty Management (GWM) system will display “04/13/2023” under Release Date and “Incomplete – Remedy Not Available” under Status. This means the required repair is not yet available and dealers should not attempt to perform any repairs.
We are working with the supplier to obtain the required parts as quickly as possible. When a sufficient quantity of parts are available, the recall bulletin will be released and dealers can begin repairing vehicles.

On August 9, 2022, GM opened a product investigation following a claim of a vehicle fire on a 2019 Chevrolet Silverado Medium Duty vehicle. As part of that investigation, GM coordinated with Navistar, the manufacturer of the subject vehicles, to review field data and warranty returned brake pressure sensors. While a series of tests failed to duplicate the SUFS vehicle’s condition, on January 25, 2023, a warranty returned sensor and harness was identified which exhibited signs of heat damage. This part was subjected to more detailed analysis, including X-ray scans which were completed on February 13, 2023, followed by chemistry laboratory analysis which was completed on February 28, 2023. The results from these analyses revealed the presence of brake fluid past the diaphragm seal, into the brake pressure switch and through the actual wire harness into the pump’s fuse circuit. Analysis of the returned components also revealed delamination of the corrosion inhibiting sealant, which allowed slow seepage of the brake fluid past the diaphragm seal. On March 30, 2023, Navistar reported one potentially related field incident involving a part with alleged heat damage. On April 5, 2023, Navistar provided GM a list of potentially affected vehicle VINs.

As part of that investigation, GM coordinated with Navistar, the manufacturer of the subject vehicles, to review field data and warranty returned brake pressure sensors. While a series of tests failed to duplicate the SUFS vehicle’s condition, on January 25, 2023, a warranty returned sensor and harness was identified which exhibited signs of heat damage. This part was subjected to more detailed analysis, including X-ray scans which were completed on February 13, 2023, followed by chemistry laboratory analysis which was completed on February 28, 2023. The results from these analyses revealed the presence of brake fluid past the diaphragm seal, into the brake pressure switch and through the actual wire harness into the pump’s fuse circuit. Analysis of the returned components also revealed delamination of the corrosion inhibiting sealant, which allowed slow seepage of the brake fluid past the diaphragm seal. On March 30, 2023, Navistar reported one potentially related field incident involving a part with alleged heat damage. On April 5, 2023, Navistar provided GM a list of potentially affected vehicle VINs. The information contained in this report was submitted pursuant to 49 CFR §573 Part 573 Safety Recall Report 23V-266

On April 6, 2023, GM’s Safety Field Action Decision Authority (SFADA) decided to conduct a safety recall. GM’s final analysis of the field data, including legal claims, identified a total of twenty-one potentially related complaints, eleven of which alleged a fire, smoke, or flame. GM was provided notice of those events between July 26, 2021, and January 25, 2023. GM is not aware of any accidents or injuries associated with this condition.
Description of Remedy :
Description of Remedy Program : Dealers will replace the master cylinder pressure sensor. Dealers will also
inspect the associated wire harness and replace if necessary. Pursuant to 577.11, GM will provide reimbursement to owners for repairs according to the plan submitted on May 12, 2021. How Remedy Component Differs from Recalled Component : Identify How/When Recall Condition was Corrected in Production : Replacement pressure sensor assemblies do not incorporate the corrosion inhibitor sealant that was delaminating and causing small fragments of sealer underneath of the diaphragm seal.
On March 21, 2023, Navistar began manufacturing with pressure sensor assemblies that do not incorporate the corrosion inhibitor sealant that was delaminating and causing small fragments of sealer underneath of the diaphragm seal. Recall Schedule :
Description of Recall Schedule : Dealers will be notified on April 13, 2023. Interim owner notification was
mailed on May 10, 2023. GM estimates owner notification of an available remedy will begin June 30, 2023.
Planned Dealer Notification Date : APR 13, 2023 – APR 13, 2023
Planned Owner Notification Date : JUN 30, 2023 – JUN 30, 2023

Description of Defect :
Description of the Defect : General Motors has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety may exist in certain 2019 – 2023 model year Chevrolet Silverado Medium Duty 4500HD/5500HD/6500HD vehicles. These vehicles may have a brake pressure sensor assembly that allows brake fluid to leak beyond the diaphragm seal into the pressure switch. The brake fluid may seep into the sensor’s electrical components and short the brake pressure switch and the associated fuse.
FMVSS 1 : NR FMVSS 2 : NR
Description of the Safety Risk : If brake fluid shorts the brake pressure switch and the associated fuse, the
circuit can generate excessive heat that could result in a fire, increasing the risk of injury. An underhood fire may occur when the vehicle is off and possibly unattended. Description of the Cause : A zinc nickel plating and sealant used to inhibit corrosion within the pressure Part 573 Safety Recall Report 23V-266 Page 2 Identification of Any Warning
that can Occur : sensor assembly may cause delamination of the sealant which results in small fragments of sealer underneath the diaphragm during assembly which allows brake fluid to slowly seep past the seal.
Until the recall remedy is performed, owners are advised to park their vehicles outdoors. This condition may declare with a “service brake system” malfunction indicator lamp. Involved Components : Component Name 1 : SWITCH, BRK PRESS WRNG (W/O TEE CONNECTOR)
