General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 Chevrolet Cruze vehicles manufactured November 8, 2013, to March 12, 2015, and 2015 Chevrolet Volt vehicles manufactured April 11, 2014.

Separation of the tie rod from the steering gear could result in the loss of steering, increasing the risk of a crash.
I LEASED A 2015 CHEVY VOLT, I USED THE SUPPLIED CHARGING STATION TO CHARGE THE VEHICLE. THIS DEVICE OVERHEATED EARLIER IN THE DAY, I DECIDED TO UNPLUG IT AND TRY ANOTHER OUTLET. I CHECKED ON IT 20 MINUTES LATER AND DISCOVERED IT WAS STILL WARM. I THOUGHT THIS WAS NORMAL, CONSIDERING IT WAS CHARGING A CAR. I PLUGGED IT IN LATER IN THE EVENING. THIS CHARGER SUPPLIED BY CHEVY THEN CAUGHT FIRE AFTER BEING PLUGGED IN FOR ABOUT 2-3 HOURS, AND THAT FIRE SPREAD TO OUR GARAGE. THIS FIRE STARTED FROM THE CHARGER ITSELF AND CAUSED DAMAGE TO OUR BELONGINGS AND COULD HAVE DESTROYED OUR ENTIRE HOME. *TR
WHILE DRIVING MY VOLT ON THE FREEWAY, BOTH THE NAVIGATION DISPLAY AND THE INSTRUMENT DISPLAY WENT BLANK. I HAD NO VISIBILITY OF MY SPEED, FUEL STATUS, ENGINE STATUS. I ATTEMPTED TO RE DISPLAY THE NAV SYSTEM, BUT I HAD TO DRIVE THE REST OF MY TRIP WITH NO DISPLAY. PLAYED WITH THE LIGHTS, ON THEN OFF NO CHANGE. I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN ON 3 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. ALL THREE TIMES, THE DISPLAY WAS RETURNED ON THE NEXT DAY.
