General Motors (GM) has issued a recall for approximately 17 units of its 2023 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon midsize pickup trucks due to a potential safety concern with the front wheel hub bolts. The recall stems from the possibility of these bolts being over-tightened during installation, which could lead to damage and subsequent loosening over time.
The defect identified in these vehicles relates to motor vehicle safety, as the over-torqued front wheel hub bolts may become deformed and eventually loosen during operation. If a bolt breaks while the vehicle is in motion, it could exert excessive stress on the remaining bolts, resulting in partial loss of vehicle control and increasing the crash risk.
To address this issue, GM dealerships will replace the left and right front wheel hub bolts at no cost to the owners. Notification letters regarding this recall were mailed out on April 10, 2024. Concerned owners can contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020 or GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782 for further assistance. The specific recall identification number assigned to this issue by GM is N232431480.
In addition to contacting the manufacturer’s customer service, owners can also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or visit www.nhtsa.gov for more information on this recall and any other safety-related concerns.
