Canada/Ottawa: Transport Canada, an Ottawa, Ontario regulatory and safety safety authority, recalls certain 2024 Chevrolet Silverado HD and GMC Sierra HD Pickup Trucks marketed, sold and delivered in Canada.
On certain Pickup Trucks, the Steering Gear Shaft may not have been manufactured properly. If this defect occurs, this Shaft could break and cause a loss of steering control.
A sudden loss of steering control, especially at high speeds, could increase the risk of a crash, motor vehicle collision (“MVC”) or other impact event with consequential serious injury and/or life-changing results.
