What happened

General Motors is recalling certain 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra vehicles, as well as 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe vehicles, because the tie rod attachment to the steering gear may not be properly tightened. If the tie rod separates from the steering rack due to this improper tightening, the driver could lose steering control, which increases the risk of a crash.

To remedy this issue, GM dealers will inspect the inner tie rods at no charge and replace the steering gear if necessary. Owners are advised not to drive their vehicles until they have been inspected and repaired. Affected owners should contact General Motors at 1-800-222-1020 for Chevrolet vehicles or 1-800-462-8782 for GMC vehicles to arrange for their vehicles to be towed to a dealership for service. The recall number is 14204.
