General Motors has recalled 168 examples of its Chevrolet Silverado HD pickup due to a transmission fault that could cause the rear wheels to lockup momentarily.
The recall applies to all variants of the MY21 Silverado HD.
“Under certain conditions, some customers may experience harsh transmission shifting leading to momentary rear wheel lock up, or Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) activation may occur,” the manufacturer said in its recall notice.
“Sudden unintended braking and/or a rear wheel lockup whilst driving could increase the risk of an accident, causing injury or death to vehicle occupants and other road users.”
