- The defect
- General Motors, LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2020-2023 Cadillac CT4 and CT5; 2021-2023 Buick Envision; and 2022-2023 Cadillac Escalade and Escalade ESV, Chevrolet Silverado 1500, Suburban, Tahoe, GMC Sierra 1500, Yukon, and Yukon XL vehicles. The daytime running lights (DRLs) may not deactivate when the headlights are on. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 108, "Lamps, Reflective Devices, and Associated Equipment."
- What it can cause
- DRLs that do not deactivate as intended may result in a glare, reducing visibility, and increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- The body control module software will be updated by a dealer, or through an over-the-air (OTA) update, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed January 23, 2023. Owners may contact GMC customer service at 1-888-988-7267, Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020, or Cadillac customer service at 1-800-458-8006. GM's number for this recall is N222386380. This recall expands previous recall number 22V-827.
- 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. This one is fixed by a software update rather than a workshop visit.
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 740,108 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 98% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2020 to 2023, so the oldest vehicles on it were 2 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Chevrolet vehicles have been recalled over the exterior lighting 28 times before this, most recently in November 2022 as 22V827000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for 26 of the 27 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 3,870 complaints with NHTSA, 65 of them before this campaign was filed. 48 of those name the exterior lighting, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in June 2020, 2 years before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 15 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V085000 (power train), 26V083000 (power train), 25V619000 (fuel system, diesel), 25V274000 (engine and engine cooling).
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.
Filed by General Motors, LLC with NHTSA on December 8, 2022 as campaign 22V903000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
