General Motors is recalling almost half a million vehicles, including popular models like the Escalade and Tahoe, due to a potential safety risk. The problem lies in the electronic brake control module software, which may fail to alert drivers when brake fluid is low.
This could lead to reduced braking performance and increase the chance of an accident.
