Transmission & drivetrain Vehicle recall #26V525000 · 2026 · 27,720 vehicles

What's wrong: The connection between the driveshaft and the rear differential May become damaged, possibly resulting in a loss of power to the rear wheels or a vehicle rollaway.

Why it matters: An unexpected loss of drive power can increase the risk of a crash. In addition, a damaged driveshaft can result in a vehicle rollaway if the parking brake is not applied, increasing the risk of a crash or injury.

The fix: Dealers will inspect the connection between the driveshaft and rear axle differential, and apply adhesive or replace the driveshaft and rear axle differential, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed October 2, 2026.
