What's wrong?

The chassis electronic module is part of the electrical system in these 2013-2014 Enclave, Acadia, Cts, Escalade, Express, Traverse, Yukon, Tahoe, Silverado, Impala, Yukon Xl, Escalade Esv, Savana, Suburban, and Sierra vehicles. It helps manage electronic signals between vehicle systems, so those systems receive the right electrical commands while the vehicle is operating.

On affected vehicles, the module can be contaminated inside. That contamination can create an electrical short, which means current travels where it should not inside the module. Once that happens, the module is no longer a clean control point for the circuits connected to it.

There is no warning sign before failure. An owner should not expect a specific light, sound, smell, or drivability change to appear before the internal short happens.

Who's affected?

Spans multiple 2013 and 2014 models, all tied to the electrical system.
