What's wrong?
The front camera module on the 2023 Colorado and Canyon is the camera-based control unit that helps the automatic emergency braking system judge what is ahead of the vehicle. It reads the road scene and sends information to the braking system when it detects an obstacle. The software calibration is the set of instructions that tells the module how to interpret that camera data.
On affected vehicles, that calibration can read the camera input incorrectly under specific driving conditions. The module falsely detects an obstacle in the vehicle's path. When that happens, the automatic emergency braking system can apply the brakes even though the driver did not request braking and no real obstacle is present.
There is no warning sign before failure. An owner is not expected to see a dashboard message or feel a change in normal braking before an unwarranted automatic emergency braking event.

What's the safety risk?
Unexpected automatic emergency braking can make the vehicle abruptly slow or stop and increase the risk of a crash. There is no warning sign before it happens, so keep extra following distance and schedule the software update promptly. Repair is free at any franchised Chevrolet dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2023 Chevrolet Colorado or GMC Canyon is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Chevrolet or GMC dealer to schedule the free repair.
- Schedule the front camera module software update that fixes false obstacle detection and unexpected automatic emergency braking.
- Bring the recall notice if you have one. If not, reference recall number 24V133 when you call.
- Drive with extra following distance until the software update is complete, because unexpected automatic emergency braking can make the vehicle slow or stop abruptly.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Chevrolet technician updates the front camera module (FCM) software that controls part of the automatic emergency braking system. The recall covers the software update and labor, so there is no charge for the repair. Out-of-pocket repairs already paid are handled through the existing warranty, not through a separate reimbursement program, because the covered vehicles are still under warranty. Ask the service desk how warranty coverage applies if you have prior repair paperwork.
