Chevy Silverado 1500 Recalled For DRLs That Don’t Deactivate

GM has issued a product recall for certain examples of 2022 and 2023 Chevy Silverado 1500 models due to an issue related to daytime running lights (DRLs) failing to deactivate.

The problem: affected vehicles fitted with faulty DRLs don’t deactivate when the headlights are turned on, and fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, “Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment.

The hazards: DRLs that fail to deactivate fail could cause glare for oncoming drivers and increase the risk of a crash.

The fix: certified GM technicians will be instructed to update the body control module software at the dealership, or through an over-the-air (OTA) update, free of charge.

Affected components: daytime running lights (DRLs).

Affected vehicles:

It’s worth noting that this recall affects both U.S. and Canadian models.

Number of affected vehicles: GM indicates there are 740,108 units affected in the U.S. and 85,685 units in Canada, across all nameplates mentioned above.

Owners should: GM will notify owners of affected vehicles and instruct them to make an appointment with their dealer. For U.S. owners, notification letters are expected to be mailed January 23rd, 2023.

  2. I dropped my truck off last Friday for the DRL recall. They called me the same day to tell me the module fried when they were doing the update. Still waiting for the part to come in. Not sure why they wouldn’t have the part on hand. I know there is a chip shortage but I can’t be the first that this happed to.
