What owners wrote
While the driving 30-35 MPH inner tie rod and ball joint on the front axle broke, causing the front end of the vehicle to fall. The condition was reported to GMC. The vehicle will be repaired at owner's expense.
There are several recalls out on my model of vehicle in which my vehicle has the same symptoms but when I run a check on the year VIN it comes back with no recalls. How can I make sure that my repairs should be covered under the recalls.
