GM Recalls 12,715 Express and Savana Vans: a Loose Steering Nut Can Cost You Steering

General Motors is recalling 12,715 model-year 2025–2026 Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana vehicles. The steering gear assembly may have a nut that was not properly tightened, and 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.

Dealers will inspect the steering gear serial number and replace the assembly if necessary, free of charge. The NHTSA campaign ID is 26V718000 and GM’s recall number is N262579350.

There is a wrinkle owners should know about: vehicles that were not properly inspected under the earlier recall 26V399 will need to be re-inspected under this campaign. If your van was already in for a steering inspection, check whether this new campaign still applies to it.

Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed December 14, 2026, and vehicle identification numbers became searchable on NHTSA.gov on October 29, 2026. Owners may contact GMC customer service at 1-888-988-7267 or Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020. The van recall closes out a busy November 2–6 NHTSA week that also brought GM’s 67,380-vehicle EV brake recall and Hyundai’s 37,901-vehicle airbag recall — both already covered on Carc.
