What is being recalled
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2019-2020 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 and 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 trucks. One of the driveshaft joints may not have been properly welded, causing the driveshaft to separate while the vehicle is moving.
Why it is dangerous
If the driveshaft separates, there may be a loss of propulsion, increasing the risk of crash.
The fix (free at any franchised dealer)
GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the driveshaft, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin December 2020. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020 or GMC customer service at 1-888-988-7267. GM's number for this recall is N202314870.
Recall repairs are always free, regardless of vehicle age or where you bought the car. Quote the campaign number 20V-650 when calling a dealer.
