General Motors is recalling over 132,000 trucks over concerns about tailgates unlatching unexpectedly. The recall impacts the 2024 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra models with power-unlatching tailgates. Water intrusion may cause the tailgate's electronic gate-release switch to short circuit, potentially leading to unintended unlatching while the vehicle is in Park. The NHTSA advised owners to ensure tailgates are securely latched before driving. Dealers will replace the exterior touchpad switch assemblies at no cost. GM has not commented on the issue.
