What is being recalled
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 and 3500 and GMC Sierra 2500 and 3500 vehicles. The hood-latch striker wires may not have been heat-treated properly, possibly causing them to fracture.
Why it is dangerous
If a striker wire fractures, the hood may open unexpectedly while driving, increasing the risk of a crash.
