(Reuters) -General Motors ( GM ) will recall 77,824 vehicles as incorrect software in the transmission control module could cause the vehicle to move in an unintended direction, increasing the risk of a crash, the U.S. auto safety regulator said on Thursday.

The recall involves certain 2022-2023 Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana vehicles, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said.

Incorrect software in the transmission control module may result in reduced power, unintended deceleration, rear-wheel lockup, or cause the vehicle to move in an unintended direction, the regulator said.

GM on Wednesday recalled more than 461,000 vehicles over a separate issue related to its transmission.
