General Motors is recalling 3,073 2014-2015 model-year Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickup trucks and 2015 Chevrolet Suburban and Tahoe SUVs because of faulty ignition lock actuators.
In these vehicles, the ignition lock actuator may bind, making turning the key difficult or causing the ignition to get stuck in the “start” position, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said.

If stuck in the “start” position, the ignition might suddenly snap back into the “accessory” position and lead to a loss of engine, steering and braking power, posing a safety risk. Additionally, the air bags may not deploy in the event of a crash, NHTSA said.
GM dealers will replace the ignition lock housing, free of charge. Vehicle owners can reach Chevrolet customer service at (800) 222-1020 or GMC customer service at (800) 462-8782. GM's number for this recall is 15573.
Distracted driving remains one of the most persistent risks in fleet operations. New approaches focus on removing mobile device use entirely while adding real-time safety support.
As distraction risks evolve, fleets are turning to smarter, more connected technologies to better understand what’s happening behind the wheel. Part 2 explores how these tools are helping identify risky behaviors and improve visibility across operations.
Distracted driving is often measured by what we can see—phones in hand, eyes off the road. But what about the distractions we can’t? A recent incident raises a bigger question about awareness, attention, and why subtle risks so often go unnoticed.
Fleets have more driver data than ever, so why isn't behavior changing? Training requires more than reports and coaching — it requires real-world practice.
A two-part conversation with Stefan Heck on how AI is transforming the fight against distracted driving. As fleets adopt smarter tools, the focus shifts from reacting to preventing risk. In Part 1, we look at where AI is making an impact for fleets today.
An 11% drop in pedestrian fatalities in early 2025 signals progress in U.S. road safety, but elevated death rates and ongoing risks underscore the need for continued action from fleets and policymakers.
