Class Action.org is alerting drivers to General Motors’ decision to expand a previous recall of certain 2011 trucks and SUVs to correct a problem which could cause the cars’ rear axles to lock. The GM recall, which was originally issued in December 2010, now affects 26,751 vehicles. The following are among the models affected by the General Motors recall: Cadillac Escalade, Cadillac Escalade ESV 1500, Cadillac Escalade EXT 1500; Chevrolet Avalanche 1500, Chevrolet Colorado, Chevrolet Silverado 1500, Chevrolet Suburban 1500, Chevrolet Tahoe; and GMC Canyon, GMC Sierra 1500, GMC Yukon and GMC Yukon XL 1500.To learn more about the

The
GM recall was issued due to a problem with the rear axle cross pins. According to General Motors, the rear axle cross pins, which hold the axle in place, were not properly heat-treated. The pins could fracture and become displaced within the rear axle. Should this occur, it could create an interference and cause the rear axle to lock. As a result, the driver could lose direction control of the vehicle, increasing their risk of an accident. Although General Motors has received one report of power loss to the axle, it has not been notified of any crashes resulting from the rear axle cross pin problem.
