STEERING
- The defect
- General Motors, LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2025-2026 Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana vehicles. The steering gear assembly may have a nut that was not properly tightened.
- What it can cause
- A loose nut that separates from the steering gear assembly while driving can cause a loss of steering control, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect the serial number and replace the steering gear assembly, if necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed December 14, 2026. Owners may contact GMC customer service at 1-888-988-7267 or Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020. GM's number for this recall is N262579350. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall became searchable on NHTSA.gov on October 29, 2026. Vehicles that were not properly inspected under recall 26V399 will need to be re-inspected under 26V718.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup.
| Vehicle | Model years | Safety record |

How this campaign compares
At 12,715 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 81% of the 19,941 vehicle recalls with a published size filed from 1995 up to this one. The middle campaign among them covers 473. It covers model years 2025 to 2026, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Chevrolet vehicles have been recalled over the steering 57 times before this, most recently in June 2026 as 26V399000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 5 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V399000 (steering), 26V345000 (steering), 26V127000 (tires), 25V299000 (seats).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by General Motors, LLC with NHTSA on October 29, 2026 as campaign 26V718000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
