General Motors is recalling more than a million full-size pickup trucks and large SUVs that could experience a management malfunction resulting in accidents.

GM said it identified 30 accidents, two injuries and no deaths related to the defect.

The recall involves certain 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and 2015 GMC pickups, as well as the 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe, Chevy Suburban, GMC Yukon and Cadillac Escalade sport utility vehicles.

While the recall covers 1.02 million vehicles, GM has estimated that the defect only concerns about 2% of the units.

The Silverado, GM's most popular model, accounts for about 44% of the recalled vehicles.

"These vehicles may experience a temporary loss of" power steering ", followed by a sudden return," especially "when turning at low speeds," GM said in a regulatory document.

"The loss and sudden return of EPS assistance usually occurs within a second and is caused by an electrical / software problem," said GM.

According to GM, the defect could lead drivers "to have difficulty steering the vehicle, especially at low speed, which increases the risk of collision."

After analyzing customer complaints, testing and technical analysis, the manufacturer decided on August 30 to make a recall.

Customers will be notified when they are assigned and will receive free repairs.

Resellers will perform a software patch to correct the defect.
