Condition
General Motors has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety may exist in certain 2024 model year Chevrolet Silverado 2500/3500 and 2024 model year GMC Sierra 2500/3500 vehicles. In these vehicles, the steering gear shaft may contain a supplier manufacturing defect that may result in a fracture of the shaft that attaches to the steering (pitman) arm.

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.

Safety Recall N232414720 Steering Gear Shaft Fracture Page 3 of 3 Dealer Responsibility – For USA & Export (USA States, Territories, and Possessions) It is a violation of Federal law for a dealer to deliver a new motor vehicle or any new or used item of motor vehicle equipment (including a tire) covered by this notification under a sale or lease until the defect or noncompliance is remedied. 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. Dealer Responsibility – All All new, used, GM Certified Used, courtesy transportation vehicles, dealer shuttle vehicles, etc. in dealers’ possession and subject to this recall must be held and inspected/repaired per the service procedure of this bulletin before customers take possession of these vehicles.

All GM Certified Used vehicles currently in the dealers’ inventory within the Certified Pre-Owned Inventory System (CPOIS) will be de-certified and must be held and remedied per the service procedure in this bulletin. Upon submitting an accepted/paid warranty transaction in the Global Warranty Management (GWM) system, the vehicle can be re-certified for sale within the CPOIS system, or once again be used in the CTP program. Dealers are to service all vehicles subject to this recall at no charge to customers, regardless of mileage, age of vehicle, or ownership, from this time forward. Customers who have recently purchased vehicles sold from your vehicle inventory, and for which there is no customer information indicated on the dealer listing, are to be contacted by the dealer.
