The problem that prompted the GM recall was the improper heat treatment applied to the rear axle cross pins. Without the right treatment, the pins could fracture and shift out of their regular position, which can cause the rear axle to lock and the driver to lose the ability to maintain the directional control of the vehicle. An unexpected crash could occur if control is lost.
Once General Motors had realized there may be a problem with the pins, the corporation began an investigation. They found there were certain pins that had not been identified through an inspection process. This problem prompted General Motors to continue with the recall to ensure the safety of its drivers.
Owners are urged to bring in their vehicles if they fall within the list of GM recall vehicles. Dealers will install a new rear axle cross pin at no charge to the owner.
If any owners have any questions they can reach any of the manufacturers: Cadillac 1-866-982-2339, Chevrolet 1-800-630-2438 and GMC 1-866-996-9463. Or they can visit the GM owner center at www.gmownercenter.com.
