General Motors is recalling approximately 5,861 Chevrolet 4500HD, 5500HD, and 6500HD trucks from the 2021 and 2022 model years. The hex flange lock nuts used in the steering and suspension joints were improperly heat treated, which can cause them to break and lead to steering instability. Dealers will replace the affected lock nuts with properly treated parts free of charge.
The lock nuts in the steering and suspension systems can fail, causing a loss of tension that makes the vehicle difficult to control or steer properly. This sudden instability significantly increases the likelihood of a collision.
