NHTSA recall 14V151000
Power Train · General Motors, LLC
Details
What's wrong: Affects vehicles equipped with a 1.4L Turbo engine, and manufactured between November 28, 2012, and March 7, 2014. 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: Gm will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the right half shaft, as needed, free of charge. Parts for the remedy are not currently available. Gm will send an interim letter to owners in May 2014. A second owner letter will be mailed when parts are available.
