The defect
General Motors, LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2025-2026 Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana vehicles. The steering gear assembly may have a nut that was not properly tightened.

Dealers will inspect the serial number and replace the steering gear assembly, if necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed December 14, 2026. Owners may contact GMC customer service at 1-888-988-7267 or Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020. GM's number for this recall is N262579350. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall became searchable on NHTSA.gov on October 29, 2026.

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.
