General Motors has recalled 449,671 trucks and SUVs because they may not warn drivers when their brake fluid is low, a dangerous condition that could reduce braking power.

Recalled models include:

The company tells the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) that the problem is “a mismatch” between two pieces of software. It could cause a warning light to fail to activate when brake fluid is low.

Drivers would see a red brake telltale before a total loss of brake fluid, but they might not know when brake fluid was low until it was nearly gone. With low brake fluid, a vehicle will take longer than expected to stop.

Dealers can correct the problem with a software update. Some vehicles can receive updates over the air, while others will need to visit the dealership to have them installed.

By law, dealers never charge for recall repairs.
