NHTSA recall 11V089000
Suspension · General Motors, LLC
Details
What's wrong: Some of these vehicles have a condition in which a wax coating on the rear suspension toe link jam nuts may allow the nut(s) to loosen. If a nut sufficiently loosens, the toe link could separate and the rear wheel would be able to turn inboard or outboard. Owners may hear a metallic clanking noise coming from the rear of the vehicle that may warn of a loosening nut.
Why it matters: The driver may experience sudden changes with vehicle handling and may not be able to control the vehicle increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Dealers will clean all wax residue from the rear suspension toe link and install two new jam nuts. If necessary the rear suspension toe link may be replaced. This service will be performed free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin on or before March 24, 2011.
