Following a single incident on March 1, 2011, when a GM was notified of a 2011 Chevrolet Cruze that had been brought to one of its dealerships with a steering wheel that had come loose from the steering column, the Detroit automaker decided to issue a voluntary recall on certain Cruze vehicles. According to GM, during manufacturing, the steering wheel might have been improperly fastened and could detach from the steering column.
In a filing to the National Highway Safety Traffic Administration, General Motors noted that the affected assembly plant help shipment of 2,021 Cruze vehicles until they were inspected for the potential default, adding that the inspection found no additional problems with the steering wheels on these cars. The company also issued a notice to dealers to inspect all unsold vehicles prior to sale. GM said that no additional steering wheel fastener abnormalities have been found to date.
As a precautionary measure, the company will recall a total of 2,100 Chevrolet Cruze sedans from the 2011MY to inspect the steering wheel. The safety recall is expected to begin in April. Concerned owners may contact Chevrolet at 1-800-630-2438, or at the owner center
