General Motors is recalling 40,428 medium-duty trucks that Navistar Inc. built for the automaker because brake fluid leaking into a pressure sensor assembly can cause a fire.
GM reported 11 instances of fire, smoke or flame in the 2019 to 2023 Chevrolet Silverado 4500HD, 5500HD and 6500HD Class 4-6 trucks between July 2021 and January this year. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reported no accidents or injuries.
The issue affects about 1% of the recalled GM vehicles. Navistar did not immediately respond to a question from FreightWaves as to the inclusion of any International-branded products in the recall.
