2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 accessory brake light may not function properly

General Motors is recalling certain 2022 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra trucks with an accessory sport bar. The high-mounted brake light may not function or may be blocked, reducing visibility to other drivers and increasing crash risk.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall addresses a potential safety hazard where an inoperative or blocked high-mounted brake light may reduce visibility to other drivers and increase crash risk. However, the source does not report any actual injuries, crashes, or property damage, making this a theoretical risk-of-harm scenario per the rubric.

Plain-English summary

General Motors has initiated a recall of certain 2022 model year Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 vehicles equipped with an aftermarket accessory sport bar. The accessory bar contains a high-mounted brake light that may fail to function properly. Additionally, the accessory brake light may block or obstruct the vehicle's factory high-mounted brake light, preventing it from functioning as intended.

These conditions cause the vehicles to fail to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 108, which governs lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment. An inoperative high-mounted brake light reduces visibility to other drivers, which can increase the risk of a collision.

Approximately 242 vehicles are potentially affected. Owners should contact General Motors customer service at 1-888-988-7267 or Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020 to arrange a remedy. Dealers will inspect the installation of the accessory bar and provide the correct vehicle wiring if necessary, at no cost to the owner. Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or visit www.nhtsa.gov for more information.
