Improper tire pressure can compromise vehicle safety and decrease fuel economy. Please see vehicle maintenance for details on resolving this issue. ", " Recommended
49 psi Front | 49 psi Rear ".
Has GM changed the recommended settings different than what is in the door sticker? Has anyone else had this happen to them after the BCM recall?
I did do a search for tire pressure and nothing came up.

This is nonsense, do NOT inflate your tires to 49 psi no matter what.
The typical street car tire has a max burst pressure of 50-51 psi, so if you put 49 psi into them cold and gain an extra 3-4 psi as the tire heats up, you'll run north of the tire's factory spec.
AFAIK the recommended cold tire pressure is still 32/32 for wide tires (SS 1LE, ZL1, ZL1 1LE) and 35/35 for the runflats on the SS / LT.
