Owners of several popular full-size GM SUVs may soon receive a recall notice tied to a potentially serious wheel hub safety issue. General Motors has announced a new safety recall affecting certain 2025\u20132026 luxury and SUV models equipped with 24-inch wheels after discovering that incorrect bolts may have been installed on the front wheel hubs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The recall has been assigned NHTSA Campaign Number 26V-304<\/strong> and impacts approximately 2,464 vehicles across the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n According to GM, some affected vehicles may have been serviced using incorrect front wheel hub bolts. The issue specifically involves vehicles equipped with 24-inch wheels where dealers may have reused production-installed bolts during installation of an accessory brake package or while servicing front wheel hub bearings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Over time, these incorrect bolts can loosen, deform, or potentially break.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If one bolt loosens or fails while driving, excessive stress can be transferred to the remaining bolts. In severe cases, this could lead to partial loss of vehicle control and increase the risk of a crash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n GM states that the problem originated from incorrect service information and accessory brake kit instructions that failed to specify unique fasteners required for vehicles equipped with 24-inch wheels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The following vehicles may be affected:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Only certain vehicles equipped with 24-inch wheels are included in the recall population.<\/p>\n\n\n\n GM says drivers of affected vehicles could experience symptoms before a failure occurs, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Drivers noticing these symptoms should have their vehicle inspected immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n GM\u2019s investigation began in April 2026 after a product investigator identified that accessory brake package kits (RPO 5JL) lacked separate instructions and special fasteners required for vehicles equipped with 24-inch wheels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The automaker also discovered that its electronic parts catalog (EPC) failed to identify the proper replacement bolts during front hub bearing service procedures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n GM received seven field complaints potentially related to this condition between January 2025 and April 2026. Despite the complaints, GM reports that it is not aware of any crashes or injuries connected to the defect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On May 7, 2026, GM\u2019s Safety Field Action Decision Authority (SFADA) approved a formal safety recall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To correct the issue, GM dealers will:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Owner notification letters are expected to begin mailing on June 29, 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Owners of several popular full-size GM SUVs may soon receive a recall notice tied to a potentially serious wheel hub safety issue.
