The brake pedal pivot nut on these vehicles may become loose, causing the brake pedal to be loose or inoperative.

I just got an email about this recall this morning that says GM is working to come up with a fix and to wait for notice to arrive in the snail mail.

The fix is remove brake bolt nut apply Loctite on nut threads and re-torque. I ordered a new truck it came in they got recall and I was not allowed to even take it for a test drive. The following day they received the repair performed the repair while I was there and then I could test drive. I picked up my new ride yesterday. They were not allowed to sell any 2500hd trucks on there lot until repair was made.

I called my dealer and got the same fix info as you described, but the guy I talked to said not to worry about it, "we'll take care of that when you come in for your oil change". I'm considering scheduling that oil change now since I'm currently at 30%.

30% oil life, that is.

That's a nice one.

Brake pedals can come loose, fail, and you / people are not supposed to worry?

Right?

Had mine done this morning, took 20 minutes. My tech said it was a bitch to reach, but he got it without tearing 1/2 of the truck apart like the TSB tells them to.

That's what I said to the service manager about mine, since they sprayed lube on it to fix that issue. He assured me it had nothing to do with it, I guess he didn't understand my thought that lubing up a non secured bolt was a bad idea. Anyway he has told me he does not want my business anymore. I have a meeting there tomorrow with the sales manager to discuss whether me, my family, my friends, or co-workers will ever be going back there, since they and GM refused to address the issues I am having with the truck.

You forgot to say your standard "operating as designed " if you're going to go off on such an epic rant, keep it consistent eh
