Chevrolet Recall 14079: Front Right Half Shaft May Fracture
2013 Chevrolet Cruze
If the half shaft fractures and separates while driving, the vehicle would lose power and coast to a stop. If a vehicle with a fractured half shaft is parked without the parking brake applied, the vehicle could move unexpectedly. Either condition increases the risk of a crash.
