GM Issues Recall on Vans Over Steering Problem That Could Cause Loss of Control

General Motors has announced a recall affecting thousands of its vans due to a potential steering defect that could make the vehicles difficult to control. The recall covers certain model year vans equipped with a specific steering column component that may fail, increasing the risk of a crash.

GM says the issue stems from a manufacturing error that could allow the steering wheel to become disconnected from the steering gear.

The recall primarily impacts Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana vans from the 2023 and 2024 model years. Owners will be notified by mail starting next month, and dealers will inspect and replace the affected steering column free of charge. S. are involved, though the company says it is not aware of any accidents or injuries linked to the defect so far.

For local drivers in Boca Raton, this recall underscores the importance of staying up to date with vehicle safety notices. If you own one of these vans, you can check your vehicle identification number (VIN) on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s website or contact your local dealer.

Boca Auto Care recommends scheduling an inspection as soon as you receive the recall letter to ensure your van remains safe on the road.
