What this recall means for you
A rear suspension toe link outer ball joint may not have been properly tightened during assembly. Over time with normal use, the toe link can loosen and eventually separate from the vehicle.
If the toe link separates, the vehicle can lose stability and steering control, which increases the risk of a crash. Owners should take this seriously and not ignore any unusual handling, noise, or changes in how the rear of the car feels on the road.
GM will notify affected owners. Authorized dealers will inspect the rear suspension and replace any damaged parts at no cost to you. You can also check your VIN for open recalls and contact GM customer service at 1-800-222-1020 (Chevrolet) with questions.
