NHTSA recall 10V643000
Suspension · General Motors, LLC
Details
What's wrong: The rear axle cross pins were not properly heat treated and could fracture and become displaced within the rear axle. Should the pin shift out of position, it could create an interference condition and cause the rear axle to lock.
Why it matters: The driver may not be able to maintain directional control of the vehicle and a crash could occur without warning.
The fix: Dealers will install a new rear axle cross pin free of charge. The safety recall began on January 11, 2011.
