What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Fox Factory, Inc. (Fox Factory) is recalling certain 2019-2021 GMC Sierra 1500 and Chevrolet Silverado 1500 vehicles that are equipped with Tuscany Kits, model number 501T-02-00064. Excessive wear to the front-upper control arm ball joints could result in ball joint failure and wheel separation.

The risk

Separation of a front wheel while the vehicle is in motion increases the risk of a crash.

The remedy

Dealers will replace the original equipment front-upper control arms with new upgraded front-upper control arms, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed November 8, 2021. Owners may contact Fox Factory at 1-831-274-6500.

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
