Is your truck putting you in danger? 70,000 vehicles recalled for critical fault
- Replies 0
Attention, truck owners! If you drive one of these vehicles, it’s time to take a moment and ensure your safety.
General Motors (GM) has issued a recall affecting over 70,000 GMC trucks due to a safety defect that could pose a serious risk on the road.
Whether you rely on your truck for daily tasks or weekend adventures, it’s crucial to be aware of this recall and take action.
The recall is due to a defect involving the front grille deflectors on certain GMC trucks.
Specifically, the chrome grille deflectors may detach over time due to attachment points that can weaken or fracture.
This issue isn’t just a cosmetic concern—if the grille detaches while driving, it could lead to an accident, putting you and others on the road at risk.
GM has reported 1,225 field complaints related to this issue from April 2022 to December 2024. Four accidents have also been linked to the defect, though fortunately, no injuries have been reported.
This recall affects 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 vehicles equipped with chrome grille deflectors that were produced after GM’s 2022 model year mid-cycle update (RPO J22).
If your truck has a non-chrome grille deflector or if you own a different model like the GMC Sierra 2500 or 3500, your vehicle is not part of this recall.
If your truck is affected, GM is currently working on a solution and plans to notify owners by March 24. In the meantime, here’s what you can do:
Vehicle recalls can be concerning, especially when they involve essential safety features. That’s why it’s always important to stay updated and act quickly if your vehicle is impacted.
