2014 Chevrolet Silverado & 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe + 1 more recall: steering

⚠️ What's wrong

In the affected vehicles, the tie rod threaded attachment may not be properly tightened to the steering gear rack.

💥 The risk

An improperly tightened tie rod attachment may allow the tie rod to separate from the steering rack, resulting in a loss of steering, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.

NOTE: Owners are advised not to drive their vehicles until they have been inspected and repaired. Owners should contact GM to have their vehicles towed to the dealership.

Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
