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.
