GM recalls 450,000 pickups, SUVs including Escalades: See if your vehicle is on list

General Motors is recalling nearly 450,000 vehicles including some new-model Escalades and Tahoes due to an inoperative low brake fluid warning which poses a safety issue.
In a recall issued last week by the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, GM said electronic brake control module software on impacted SUVs and pickup trucks may fail to display a warning light when a loss of brake fluid occurs.
Without a warning light, the vehicle may be driven with low brake fluid, the NHTSA reported, which can reduce braking performance and increase the risk of a crash.
In sum, 449,671 vehicles are being recalled.
Here's what to know about the Sept. 12 posted recall:

The recall covers some 2023 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, 2023-2024 Chevrolet Tahoe, Suburban, GMC Yukon, Yukon XL, Cadillac Escalade, and Escalade ESV vehicles.
The "Electronic Brake Control Module" software will be updated through an over-the-air update or by a dealer, free of charge.

When will I be notified if my GM has a recall?
Owners notification letters are expected to be mailed by Oct. 28, the NHTSB reported.
Affected owners are asked to contact their local dealership for more information.
How to check if your vehicle is affected
Owners can check USA TODAY’s automotive recall database or search NHTSA’s database for new recalls.
