INDIANA – GM has issued a product recall for certain units of the 2023 Chevy Traverse due to a missing left-side half-shaft retaining ring.
Vehicles built without this retaining ring have the potential for half-shaft inner joint separation, which could result in a loss of drive power or a vehicle rollaway while the affected vehicle is parked.
If the half-shaft inner joint were to be separated, affected vehicles have an increased risk of a serious crash.
Certified GM technicians will be instructed to inspect half-shafts and add the retaining ring necessary, all free of charge.
Affected vehicles:
GM will notify owners of affected vehicles and instruct them to make an appointment with their dealer. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed on March 24, 2023.
