GM has issued a product recall for certain units of the 2023 GMC Acadia due to a problem with the right-front half-shaft assemblies.
The problem: defective right-front (or passenger’s side) half-shaft assemblies have the potential to decouple from the transmission under certain load conditions.
The hazards: if the half-shaft was to be separated from the transmission, affected vehicles have an increased risk of a serious crash due to an unexpected loss of propulsion / mechanical braking.
The fix: certified GM technicians will be instructed to inspect passenger-side half-shaft and replace if necessary, free of charge. It’s worth noting that dealers have been instructed to wait to order the necessary components due to the limited number of vehicles affected.
Affected components: passenger-side half-shafts.
Affected vehicles:
- 2023 GMC Acadia
- 2023 Cadillac XT5
Number of affected vehicles: GM believes there to only be 10 total affected vehicles with this issue.
Owners should: GM will notify owners of affected vehicles and instruct them to make an appointment with their dealer.

How do they know only 10 vehicles are effected? With that level of knowledge how did they ever get to a dealer lot and sold? Who wasn’t doing their job?
Carl many of these station are monitored under computers that register parts being installed or the torque of a fastener.
It may have been a person or more likely a machine that malfunctioned.
There is a lot of accountability on the lines these days. That is most decals are on design or supplier parts.
