In October, a GM engineer noticed possible software problems related to the daytime running lights, and it was the same issue that caused a November recall of model year 2021 SUVs.
It was determined the body control module could fail to deactivate the daytime running lights when the headlights were on.
GM opened an investigation and found the same running light problems that affected the 2021 SUVs also affected other GM models.
Driving with headlights and daytime running lights can create too much glare to oncoming drivers at night. It's also a violation of federal safety standards.
General Motors expects to mail recall letters January 23, 2023, and owners can take their vehicles to dealers or receive over-the-air software updates.
Owners may contact GMC at 888-988-7267, Chevrolet at 800-222-1020 or Cadillac at 800-458-8006.
GM's number for this recall is N222386380.
