Gem recall: Wheels
What is wrong
GEM WAEV LLC (GEM) is recalling certain 2024-2025 e2, e4, e6, and eLXD vehicles. The mounting screws between the ball joint and the hub strut may have been improperly tightened, resulting in ball joint separation from the wheel.
What could happen
Ball joint separation can cause a loss of steering control, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Dealers will tighten the mounting screws, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed January 31, 2025. Owners may contact GEM customer service at 1-800-688-8680. This recall is superseded by NHTSA recall 25V-380.
