The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (“NHTSA”) announed this week that General Motors is recalling 461,000 trucks and SUVs based on a transmission issue. The vehicles recalled include the 2020-2022 Chevrolet Silverado, GMC Sierra, 2021 Cadillac Escalade, Chevrolet Tahoe and GMC Yukon.

The specific auto defect involves a transmission control valve on the impacted vehicles may fail causing the rear wheels to lock up, the NHTSA said, which would increase the risk of a crash.

GM dealers will install a new transmission control module software free of charge and GM will provide a special coverage program for repairing transmissions identified as containing a defective control valve.

If you own one of these types of vehicles, please contact your dealer as soon as possible to avoid any further risks.

The bipartisan federal infrastructure bill that passed back in 2022 continues to pay off for the state of Illinois. CNHI News reported this week that the city of Danville and Vermillion County will recieve over $9 million from the federal department of transportation to help improve traffic safety in the area.

It was announced that the funds will be used to promote safety and improve the overall quality of life for residents in the community in and around Danville. Work will take place on Seminary Street and Bowman Avenue and will include the installation of bike lanes and sidewalks.

The grant will also fund efforts to improve lane departure safety in eight high-risk areas, including Catlin-Homer Road, Westville Road/Forest Glen Road, Perrysville Road, and Kickapoo Park Road. These targeted improvements aim to enhance roadway safety for all users.

It has been incredible to see the federal infrastructure money at work improving roads and bridges around the country. More importantly, the investments I have seen in streets and highways have all been aimed at improving traffic safety in all communities including urban and rural or large and small.
