## What is wrong

General Motors, LLC \(GM\) is recalling certain 2024 Chevrolet Silverado HD 2500, 3500, and GMC Sierra HD 2500, 3500 vehicles equipped with power\-unlatching tailgates.  The tailgate's electronic gate\-release switch may short circuit due to water intrusion, which can result in the tailgate inadvertently unlatching while the vehicle is in Park.


## What can happen

An unlatched tailgate may open and result in a loss of unsecured cargo, creating a road hazard and increasing the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

Owners are advised to check that the tailgate is closed and latched before driving.  Dealers will replace the exterior touchpad switch assemblies, free of charge.  Owner notification letters were mailed December 17, 2024.  Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1\-800\-222\-1020 or GMC customer service at 1\-800\-462\-8782.
