Recall Date:
n/a
Units Affected:
65

Affected Component: Steering:linkages:knuckle:spindle:arm.

Summary: These vehicles were built with overtorqued drive axle spindle nuts. This condition can cause excessive loads on the spindle nut and drive axle resulting in failure of the drive axle or the spindle nut. Failure of either of these components can result in separation of the steering knuckle tire-wheel assembly from the drive axle. .

Conequence: This can result in loss of vehicle control and a vehicle accident. .

Remedy: Dealers will replace the left-hand and right-hand drive axles, bearing-hub assemblies, spindle nuts, and washers on all involved vehicles. Corrective action: dealers will replace left-hand and right-hand drive axles, bearing-hub assemblies, spindle nuts, and washers on all involved vehicles. .

Notes: System: suspension; independent front spindle; knuckle; steering. Vehicle description: passenger cars. Note: if your vehicle is presented to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and the remedy is not provided within a reasonable time and free of charge or the remedy does not correct the defect or noncompliance, please contact chevrolet service center at 1-800-222-1020 or pontiac service center at 1-800-762-2737.
