GM Recalls 12,715 Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana Vans Over an Improperly Tightened Steering Gear Nut
General Motors is recalling certain 2025-2026 Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana vans, 12,715 vehicles in total, because a nut in the steering gear assembly may not have been properly tightened, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said in its recall acknowledgment letter dated November 3, 2026. The recall, campaign number 26V718, was reported by GM on October 29.
A loose nut that separates from the steering gear assembly while driving can cause a loss of steering control, increasing the risk of a crash, NHTSA said.
Dealers will inspect the serial number and replace the steering gear assembly if necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed December 14, 2026. The vehicle identification numbers involved became searchable on NHTSA.gov on October 29, and GM's number for the recall is N262579350.
Owners of vehicles that were not properly inspected under the earlier recall 26V399 will need to have them re-inspected under 26V718.
Owners may contact GMC customer service at 1-888-988-7267, Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020, or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236. (Source: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration)
