## What is wrong

General Motors LLC \(GM\) is recalling certain model year 2015\-2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, 2500, and 3500 heavy duty trucks manufactured October 1, 2013, to February 1, 2016, 2015\-2016 Chevrolet Tahoe Police Pursuit Vehicles \(PPV\) manufactured March 1, 2014, to February 1, 2016, and 2015\-2016 GMC Sierra 2500 and 3500 heavy duty trucks manufactured October 29, 2013, to February 1, 2016.  On the affected vehicles, the brake pedal pivot nut may loosen, causing the brake pedal to be loose or inoperative.


## What can happen

If the brake pedal becomes loose or inoperative, the driver may be unable to stop the vehicle by using the brake pedal.  Additionally, a loose pedal may also interfere with the accelerator pedal.  Either condition may increase the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

GM will notify owners, and dealers will add adhesive to the brake pedal pivot nut and reinstall with an increased torque, free of charge.  The recall began on March 14, 2016.  Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1\-800\-222\-1020 or GMC customer service at 1\-800\-462\-8782.  GM's number for this recall is 20760.


## Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.safercar.gov.
