Chevrolet Cruze: Powertrain

Affects Chevrolet Cruze · 2013–2014 — about 1K vehicles.

The hazard

On certain vehicles equipped with manual transmissions, the passenger side halfshaft could fracture and separate. If this were to occur while the vehicle is being driven, it could result in a loss of motive power. If this were to occur while the vehicle is parked on an incline without the parking brake applied, it could result in unintended vehicle movement. Both situations could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will replace affected halfshafts.
