## What is wrong

General Motors LLC \(GM\) is recalling certain model year 2014\-2015 Chevrolet Cruze vehicles manufactured November 8, 2013, to March 12, 2015, and 2015 Chevrolet Volt vehicles manufactured April 11, 2014.  In the affected vehicles, the inner tie rod may not be tightened to specification allowing the tie rod to separate from the steering gear.
