General Motors Recall

General Motors has issued a recall for more than 449,000 SUVs and pickup trucks.

Why? What is happening so this recall goes into effect?

The company states that the recall was caused by the electronic brake control module software. It may fail to give a warning light when a loss of brake fluid happens.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said that without the warning light, someone could drive their vehicle with low brake fuel without knowing.

This could reduce the performance of your brakes and increase the risk of a vehicle crash.
