I have read several things about EBCM and the control power circuit being above threshold and wondering if this is a recall for this model? I am getting 3 error codes C0800, B1325, & U0151 for this vehicle. (General Motors is recalling over 449,000 SUVs and pickups (2023–2024 Cadillac Escalade, Chevy Suburban/Tahoe, GMC Yukon, and select Silverado/Sierra 1500) due to a software fault in the Electronic Brake Control Module (EBCM) . This issue prevents the brake warning light from illuminating if brake fluid drops, increasing crash risk.) It's showing the same issues as above.

What failed & is it available? The infotainment/radio module failed entirely due to an OTA software update (Codes: U18B4, U0184, B1325). The vehicle and component are fully available for inspection upon request. How was safety at risk? The federally mandated backup camera is now too faint/dim to read, destroying rearview visibility. Bluetooth/hands-free phone pairing is completely disabled, increasing driver distraction risks and preventing compliance with hands-free driving laws. Is it confirmed by a dealer? Yes. A local GMC dealership inspected the vehicle and confirmed the module is bricked, quoting $2,286.00 for a hardware replacement. Inspected by manufacturer/others? It has been…

POWER STEERING ON MY 2015 CHEVY COLORADO AS WELL AS STABLE TRACK GOES OUT INTERMITTENTLY. IT CAN HAPPEN WHEN I'M DRIVING OR STARTING THE CAR.
