## What is wrong

General Motors LLC \(GM\) is recalling certain 2018 Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain vehicles and 2017\-2018 GMC Acadia  vehicles.  The right front intermediate driveshaft may fracture and separate while driving.


## What can happen

If the front right intermediate drive shaft assembly separates while driving, the vehicle will lose propulsion, increasing the risk of a crash.  If the assembly separates while parked on a grade, without the park brake engaged, the vehicle may move unintentionally, increasing the risk of a vehicle roll\-away.


## The remedy

GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the right front intermediate drive shaft assembly, free of charge.  The recall began August 25, 2017.  Owners may contact GMC customer service at 1\-800\-462\-8782 or Chevrolet customer service at 1\-800\-222\-1020.  GM's number for this recall is 17329.


## 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.
