## What is wrong

General Motors LLC \(GM\) is recalling certain model year 2014 Buick Regal, Cadillac XTS, Chevrolet Camaro and Chevrolet Impala vehicles.  Improperly torqued fasteners may cause the steering intermediate shaft and the steering gear and/or the lower control arm and the lower ball joint to separate.


## What can happen

If any of the components separate, the vehicle may have a loss of steering, increasing the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

GM began to notify owners on June 27, 2014, and dealers will inspect the fasteners for correct torque, correcting them as necessary, free of charge.  Owners may contact GM customer service at 1\-800\-521\-7300 \(Buick\), 1\-800\-458\-8006 \(Cadillac\) or 1\-800\-222\-1020 \(Chevrolet\).  GM's number for this recall is 14378.


## Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.safercar.gov.
