Notes: Possibility the bolt which clamps the upper universal joint yoke to the lower steering shaft may not have been properly tightened and may have been the wrong type and could loosen.a loose clamp bolt could fall out and allow the upperuniversal joint and lower steering shaft to become disconnected, re- sulting in loss of steering control.(correct by replacing the upper universal joint yoke clamp bolt.)

Has your GMC been repaired?

Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.

Check your VIN with NHTSA

NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A GMC dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
