The short version

General Motors LLC reported a problem with the driveline driveshaft. Here is what owners need to know.

WHAT

The right front intermediate driveshaft may fracture and separate while driving.

WHY IT MATTERS

If the front right intermediate drive shaft assembly separates while driving, the vehicle will lose propulsion, increasing the risk of a crash. If the assembly separates while parked on a grade, without the park brake engaged, the vehicle may move unintentionally, increasing the risk of a vehicle roll-away.

WHAT TO DO

GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the right front intermediate drive shaft assembly, free of charge.
