Bollywoodfever: General Motors has issued a recall for more than 449,000 SUVs and pickup trucks from its 2023 and 2024 models due to a potential software issue with the electronic brake control module. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) announced the recall, warning that the affected vehicles may not display a warning light when a loss of brake fluid occurs, increasing the risk of reduced braking performance and potential crashes.
