NHTSA recall 96V082000
Suspension · General Motors, LLC
Details
What's wrong: The four u-bolts nuts on either side of the rear axle were under-torqued.
Why it matters: Vehicle usage could cause the nuts to loosen and eventually fall off the u-bolt. This could result in sudden loss of vehicle control increasing the potential for a vehicle crash.
The fix: Dealers will check the u-bolt nut torque and re-torque any loose u-bolts to specification.
