Details
What's wrong: Due to an improper heat-treatment, the rear axle shaft may fracture while the vehicle is being driven.
Why it matters: If the rear axle shaft fractures, the rear wheel may separate from the axle shaft, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Gm will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the rear axles, and replace any that were improperly heat-treated, free of charge. The recall began on December 17,2014.
