WASHINGTON—General Motors is recalling 820,000 newer pickup trucks in North America because tailgates could unlatch and open unexpectedly.

The recall covers 2020 through 2024 model year trucks with power unlatching tailgates because water could leak into the exterior tailgate switch and cause a short circuit while parked.
