NHTSA recall 13V452000
Power Train · General Motors, LLC
Details
What's wrong: Affects vehicles equipped with manual transmissions (mf3/mr5) and manufactured January 24, 2013, through August 1, 2013. On the affected vehicles, the right front half shaft may fracture and separate.
Why it matters: If the half shaft fractures and separates while driving, the vehicle would lose power and coast to a stop. If a vehicle with a fractured half shaft is parked without the parking brake applied, the vehicle could move unexpectedly. Either condition increases the risk of a crash.
The fix: General motors has notified owners. Dealers will replace the half shaft assembly, free of charge. The safety recall began on October 15, 2013.
