General Motors is recalling nearly 462,000 diesel-engine SUVs and pickup trucks in the U.S. due to a faulty transmission control valve that may cause rear wheel lockup, increasing the risk of a crash.

Affected vehicles may experience harsh shifting, and in rare cases, the rear wheels could lock up.

The recall covers 2020-2022 Chevrolet Silverado, GMC Sierra, Cadillac Escalade, and Chevrolet Tahoe models.

GM will update the transmission control module software to detect wear before wheel lockup occurs, AOL.com has reported.

Owners will be notified by December 9 and can contact GM customer service for assistance.
