Recall Date: 6/23/2026
NHTSA ID: 26V399
MFr. Campaign Number: N262563570
Manufacturer: General Motors, LLC
Affected Components: Steering gear assembly
Potential Number of Units Affected: 26,541
Which vehicles are affected?
This recall covers 26,541 full-size vans across the Chevrolet and GMC lineups: 6,389 model year 2026 Chevrolet Express vans, 14,615 model year 2025 Express vans, 4,786 model year 2025 GMC Savana vans, and 751 model year 2026 Savana vans. GM used manufacturing records and part trace data to identify the affected population.
The vans may have a steering gear assembly with a nut that was never properly tightened. A malfunctioning sensor at supplier Nexteer Automotive allowed some assemblies to pass inspection without the nut reaching proper torque. If that nut separates from the steering gear while a van is being driven, it can cause a loss of steering control.
What drivers need to know
Drivers may notice degraded steering precision or a steering wheel that sits off-center when driving straight. Either symptom is worth a service visit rather than something to watch and wait on, since the underlying nut is only getting looser with continued use.
GM has not issued a Do Not Drive or Park Outside advisory for this campaign. Dealers will inspect the steering gear assembly and replace it if necessary, at no cost, since all affected vans remain under warranty.
Dealer notification began June 23, 2026, with owner notification expected to start mailing around August 10, 2026. GM is running the fix under two service bulletins, N262563570 and N262563571, to cover both the Express and Savana populations.
Chevrolet and GMC recall background
A GM brand quality manager flagged this issue on May 28, 2026, after a dealer reported a loose steering gear nut on a 2025 Chevrolet Express through GM's Speak Up For Safety program. GM opened a product investigation four days later, and the supplier's review of torque trace data quickly identified which assemblies had passed inspection despite being only hand-tightened.
GM's investigation turned up nine other field issues potentially tied to the same condition, spanning back to June 2025, none of which involved an accident or injury. The supplier corrected the sensor issue on May 29, 2026, and vans built after June 1, 2026 have properly torqued steering gear assemblies.
Express and Savana vans see heavy use as commercial and fleet vehicles, which means many of them log more miles per year than a typical passenger vehicle. That usage pattern is worth keeping in mind for a defect tied to a fastener that loosens under sustained driving conditions.
How BizzyCar can help
Commercial van fleets running Express and Savana vehicles often have multiple affected units on a single account, which makes a coordinated outreach approach more efficient than contacting each owner one at a time.
BizzyCar Recall Outreach flags every affected Express and Savana VIN in a dealer's database, including fleet accounts, and reaches owners through two-way SMS to get the steering gear inspected before it becomes a bigger service disruption for a commercial customer.
