General Motors has issued a quit-sale on specific complete-size pickup trucks, such as the 2024 Chevrolet Silverado and its GMC Sierra counterpart, due to an situation with cracking roof panels

While a quit-gap resolution will be covered beneath warranty, some 2024 Chevrolet Silverados and GMC Sierras are experiencing cracking close to the ridges in their roofs. Due to their height and proximity to trim, early indicators of the cracking could be challenging to notice.

We reached out to GM which confirmed the situation. “We can confirm a small number of Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickups may have been built with a roof panel split defect. A stop-sale is in place as the impacted vehicles are identified and repaired,” a GM spokesperson told Carscoops.

While no additional specifics have been shared, it seems that the cracking could lead to tearing and permit air to pass by way of the sheet metal, according to pictures shared by gm-trucks.com. If that happens, it could compromise occupant comfort, raise issues about the trucks’ climate resistance, and have an effect on electronic elements in the vicinity of the hole.

It is not but clear if the situation will influence the structural integrity of the truck’s cab, but about three,067 trucks might be impacted by this difficulty.

Reports indicate that the situation has led to a quit sale of any automobiles that have not but been sold. For these who currently have a 2024 Sierra or Silverado in their driveway, there is also a resolution that will be covered beneath warranty.

Unfortunately, the resolution seems to involve a affordable quantity of operate, and will call for a GM technician to get rid of any interior trim from the roof, and tig weld the tear back with each other. The section will then be repainted, and an anti-corrosion material will be applied to the seam in order to stop it from rusting. This resolution might also be applied to automobiles on dealer lots.

So far, an official recall has not been issued by General Motors. It is not but clear if the situation impacts Heavy Duty, Standard Duty, or each sorts of truck, but we have reached out to General Motors for a lot more details and will update this story accordingly.
