PARKING BRAKE:ELECTRICAL
- The defect
- General Motors, LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2022 4500HD, 5500HD, and 6500HD vehicles. The pressure-sensor fitting of the primary hydraulic brake line assembly may not be tightened correctly, which could result in a brake fluid leak.
- What it can cause
- A brake fluid leak can extend the distance required to stop the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will tighten the brake pressure switch, bleed the brake system, and top-off the brake fluid, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed June 23, 2022. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020. GM's number for this recall is N222368230.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 39 vehicles this is a small campaign: 80% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2022, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2022, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Chevrolet vehicles have been recalled over the parking brake 12 times before this, most recently in April 2015 as 15V202000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 2 other recalls published here: 23V266000 (service brakes, hydraulic), 22V874000 (equipment).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
