DETROIT (Michigan News Source) – General Motors and Honda have each issued recalls of hundreds of thousands of vehicles.
GM is recalling more than 323,000 heavy-duty pickup trucks in the U.S. because the electronic tailgate release switches can short circuit and open the gates while the vehicles are in park.

GM is advising owners to check that the tailgate is closed and latched before they drive the trucks. Dealers will replace an exterior touchpad switch.
