Chronology :
On June 20, 2023, a GM quality engineer discovered a fractured steering gear shaft on a 2024 model year Chevrolet Silverado HD truck during an alignment operation and submitted a Speak Up For Safety (SUFS) report. On June 21, 2023, GM’s supplier determined that certain steering gear shaft parts may have been improperly heat treated.
GM’s investigation determined that the use of out of specification material combined with improper heat treatment could result in steering gear shaft parts with material properties outside of specification, which may result in fracture of the shaft. GM is not aware of any field incidents related to this condition.
On July 27, 2023, GM’s Safety and Field Action Decision Authority decided to conduct a safety recall.

The US National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act provides that each vehicle that is subject to a recall of this type must be adequately repaired within a reasonable time after the customer has tendered it for repair. A failure to repair within sixty days after tender of a vehicle is prima facie evidence of failure to repair within a reasonable time. If the condition is not adequately repaired within a reasonable time, the customer may be entitled to an identical or reasonably equivalent vehicle at no charge or to a refund of the purchase price less a reasonable allowance for depreciation. To avoid having to provide these burdensome remedies, every effort must be made to promptly schedule an appointment with each customer and to repair their vehicle as soon as possible. In the recall notification letters, customers are told how to contact the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration if the recall is not completed within a reasonable time.
