What this recall means for you
Certain 2023 vehicles may have a left-side half-shaft that is missing a retaining ring. Without this ring, the inner joint of the half-shaft can separate. This can cause a loss of drive power or allow the vehicle to roll away when it is placed in park, both of which can increase the risk of a crash.
If your vehicle is affected, take it to an authorized Chevrolet dealer, where the left-side half-shaft assembly will be replaced free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed February 23, 2023. You can also contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020, and check your VIN for open recalls.
