Electric pickup trucks may not have the massive towing capacity of heavy duty diesel trucks, but for virtually every other purpose they are superior to gas- or diesel-powered trucks: they’re cleaner, quieter, quicker, more fun to drive, more tech-forward, and in many cases more capable. On the downside, they’re usually more expensive and towing heavy loads can eat up half the potential range.

GM has recalled 90,081 Cadillac sedans and the Chevy Camaro coupe for a bad valve in the 10-speed automatic transmission that could, over time, cause the wheels to lock up, according to a NHTSA disclosure on Monday. The issue comes from a transmission control valve exclusive to the 10-speed automatic. Over time, the valves can wear excessively, leading to an eventual loss of pressure within the valve. That can result in harsh shifting or, "in rare cases," the wheels can momentarily lock up.
