What is being recalled
General Motors, LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2010-2016 Cadillac SRX and 2011-2012 Saab 9-4X vehicles. The rear suspension toe link adjuster may not have been tightened properly, which could result in a loose toe link.
Why it is dangerous
A loose toe link can separate and cause a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.
