The short version

General Motors LLC reported a problem with the electrical system software. Here is what owners need to know.

WHAT

The release button located inside the front trunk compartment may not function after the vehicle has been shut off for ten minutes. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 401, "Internal Trunk Release."

WHY IT MATTERS

If a person climbs inside the front trunk compartment and closes the lid, they may be trapped inside, increasing the risk of injury.

WHAT TO DO

GM will notify owners, and dealers will update the software in the vehicle's Body Control Module (BCM) to allow the release switch to always work, free of charge.
