The recall covers over 473,000 vehicles in the U.S. and Canada and includes the 2015-2016 Chevrolet Silverado HD, GMC Sierra HD and Chevrolet Tahoe police vehicles. According to the American automaker, the affected vehicles’ have a nut on the brake pedal pivot mechanism that can come loose, causing the brake pedal itself to loosen and fail to work properly. GM is unaware of any reports of crashes or injuries due to the issue.

Saving pennies here and there is just how large scale manufacturing works and part of engineering. They are not launching a man to the moon with no fixed cost or timeline, but are engineering a vehicle for production in hundreds of thousands. Figure 3 cents per vehicle on a 6 year run (or more) of millions of vehicles... It adds up extraordinarily fast and that is just one part among millions.

Bean counters are going to be the death of GM again! They should also recall these trucks and the 900's for the horrible noise/vibration issue these seem to be experiencing and come up with a proper fix for it. There is something wrong with the way the roof is designed and it needs to be corrected.

This is such a strange issue. Why change a design that isn't broke? Why try to re-engineer something as simple as a brake pedal pivot mechanism?

those assy are most likely made at a supplier who did not do something right. even a lot of the design is done at the suppliers.
