General Motors, LLC: Chrome Front Grille Deflector May Detach

Agency Publication Date: February 6, 2025

Summary

General Motors is recalling approximately 70,768 model year 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 trucks that are equipped with chrome front grille deflectors. The attachments holding these deflectors in place can fracture, which may cause the entire grille to detach from the vehicle while driving. Owners should contact a GMC dealer to have the attachment points reinforced or repaired at no cost.

Risk

A detached front grille deflector can fall into the roadway, becoming a significant hazard for other motorists and increasing the risk of a crash. This recall is assigned a medium risk level because of the potential for vehicle-to-vehicle accidents if the component separates at high speeds.
