Details

What's wrong: Affects vehicles equipped with a heated steering wheel. The steering wheel fastener may not have been properly installed. This could cause the steering wheel to come loose or separate from the steering column.

Why it matters: If the steering wheel separates from the steering column while driving, the ability to steer could be lost, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: General motors will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and make any necessary repairs on the steering wheel. These services will be provided at no charge to the customer. The safety recall began on May 21, 2013.
