STEERING

Manufacturer
General Motors LLC
What Happened
The steering shaft is the long rod that connects your steering wheel to your wheels. In some 2014 Buick, Cadillac, and Chevrolet models, the bolts that hold this shaft in place might not be tightened correctly.
Risk if Unfixed
If the bolts aren't secure, the steering shaft or other parts like the control arm or ball joint could break, causing your vehicle to lose steering. This could lead to a serious crash.
Free Fix
Your dealer will check the bolts and tighten them to the right torque, or replace them if needed, at no cost to you.

Critical #14V092000 Plain English

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

Manufacturer
General Motors LLC
What Happened
The transmission shift cable adjuster is a critical part that helps your vehicle's gearshift work properly. In some 2014 models of your Buick, Chevrolet, and GMC, this part might come loose and disconnect from the gearshift.
Risk if Unfixed
If this happens while you're driving, you might not be able to switch gears, and your gearshift won't reflect the actual gear position. When you try to park, you might think your vehicle is in 'PARK', but it could roll away if it's not. This could put you and others at risk of injury.
Free Fix
Your dealer will inspect and replace the transmission shift cable adjuster for free, so schedule an appointment as soon as you receive the recall notice. This repair is on the house, and it's crucial for your safety.
Show original NHTSA language
Original — What Happened
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2014 Buick Regal, LaCrosse, Verano, and Enclave, and Chevrolet Impala, Malibu, Cruze, and Traverse, and GMC Acadia vehicles equipped with automatic transmissions. In the affected vehicles, the transmission shift cable adjuster may disengage from the transmission shift lever. As such, these vehicles do not conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 102, "Transmission Shift Lever Sequence, Starter Interlock, and Transmission Braking Effect." They also fail to conform to FMVSS number 114, "Theft Protection and Rollaway Prevention."
Original — Risk if Unfixed
If a vehicle's shift cable disengages from the transmission shift lever, a driver may be unable to shift gear positions and the indicated shift position may not represent the gear position the vehicle is in. Should a disengagement occur while the vehicle is being driven, when the driver goes to stop and park the vehicle, the driver may be able to shift the lever to the "PARK" position, but the vehicle transmission may not be in the "PARK" gear position. If the vehicle is not in the "PARK" position there is a risk the vehicle will roll away as the driver and other occupants exit the vehicle or anytime thereafter. A vehicle rollaway increases the risk of injury to exiting occupants and bystanders.
Original — Remedy
General Motors will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace any affected transmission shift cable adjusters, free of charge. The recall began on April 10, 2014. Chevrolet owners may contact General Motors at 1-800-222-1020, Buick owners at 1-800-521-7300, and GMC owners at 1-800-462-8782. General Motors' number associated with this recall is 14048.
