(March 5, 2024) WASHINGTON — General Motors is recalling nearly 56,000 midsize pickups in the U.S. over an issue that could cause the automatic emergency braking system to activate unexpectedly. The issue has been linked to 234 complaints in the U.S. between Nov. 29, 2022, and Feb. 6 of this year, four of which involved accidents and three involved minor injuries, according to a recall report submitted Feb. 22 to NHTSA.

The recall covers certain 2023 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon vehicles. Globally, GM said about 61,700 vehicles are affected, including 4,500 in Canada and 1,500 in Mexico.

The front camera module system on those vehicles might falsely detect an obstacle, triggering the automatic emergency braking system to engage and causing the vehicle to abruptly stop or slow.

To fix the issue, dealers will update the front camera module software.
