GM is recalling 40,000 Chevy Silverado pickup trucks due to a fire risk and advising owners to park them outside until repairs are made.
— General Motors is recalling certain Chevrolet Silverado medium-duty trucks from model year 2019 or later, following the discovery of a potential leak in brake fluid that could result in a fire.
Potentially 40,428 vehicles could be affected. They include 4500HD, 5500HD, and 6500HD models with model years between 2019 and 2023, The vehicles may have a brake pressure sensor assembly that allows brake fluid to leak and cause a short circuit.

GM advises owners with potentially affected models to park outdoors and away from structures until the recall repair is done.
