What is wrong
ON CERTAIN TRUCKS, THE REAR DRIVE AXLE HOUSING WAS MANUFACTURED WITH STEEL BELOW THE SPECIFIED THICKNESS AND, AS A RESULT, IT COULD DEVELOP A CRACK.
What can happen
IF A CRACK DEVELOPS AND IS NOT DETECTED AND REPAIRED, THE OUTBOARD END OF THE HOUSING COULD EVENTUALLY SEPARATE, ALLOWING THE HUB, AXLE SHAFT, OR WHEEL AND BRAKE ASSEMBLY TO SEPARATE FROM THE VEHICLE INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
DEALERS WILL INSPECT AND REPLACE THE AXLE FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON APRIL 12, 2007. OWNERS MAY CONTACT CHEVROLET AT 1-800-630-2438 OR GMC AT 1-866-996-9463.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
