Mt&G recall: Power train
What is wrong
Mt&g is working with general motors to recall certain rear axle cross pins, part numbers 25824249 and ed69145, sold for use as service parts in certain general motors vehicles. The rear axle cross pins were not properly heat treated and could fracture and become displaced within the rear axle. Should the pin shift out of position, it could create an interference condition and cause the rear axle to lock.
What could happen
The driver may not be able to maintain directional control of the vehicle and a crash could occur without warning.
The fix
General motors' dealers will install a new rear axle cross pin free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin during january 2011. Owners may contact cadillac at 1-866-982-2339, chevrolet at 1-800-630-2438, gmc at 1-866-996-9463 and at the owner center at www.gmownercenter.com.
