Details
What's wrong: The steering gear pitman shaft may not have been adequately hardened and could fracture.
Why it matters: If this condition occurs, a loss of steering could result, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Gm will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the steering gear and, if necessary, replace the steering gear pitman shaft. This service will be performed free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin on April 4, 2012.
