Details

What's wrong: The intermediate steering shaft attaching bolts may not have been tightened to the proper specification.

Why it matters: This could allow the joints to separate, and the driver could experience loss of steering increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Gm dealers will inspect and ensure that the intermediate steering shaft bolts are tightened to the proper specification. The safety recall is expected to begin on or about July 13, 2011.
