“I have a 2022 GMC Sierra that has a black grill and the same thing happened to me that follows this safety recall; N242490120. I was driving on the highway and the same piece snapped off and went right over my head and a car behind me ran over it and they had to pull over.”
“The chrome grill deflector that was previously fixed under the GM recall (for the same part) broke off and flew into my windshield while driving on the freeway.”
“The contact owns a 2022 GMC Sierra 1500. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer to be repaired under NHTSA Campaign Number: 25V060000 (Structure). However, the recall remedy failed, and the front grille piece flew off the vehicle while driving at an undisclosed speed. The contact stated that the grille was loose, and the contact returned the vehicle to the dealer and informed the dealer that the recall repair was already performed. The dealer confirmed the failure but stated that the vehicle was previously repaired as designed. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but offered no assistance. The failure mileage was 48,500.”
“The hood molding flew off my vehicle as I was traveling down the interstate. I did not hit anything, it just randomly flew off of my vehicle. The piece flew off and just barely missed the vehcile behind me. If that would of hit the other vehicle, it would of caused damage to their vehicle, and potentially could of caused an accident. The piece that fell off was the trim piece that is diretly below the hood latch and above the front grille. There was no incidcators that this was going to happen. I see there was a recall on the same model and year vehicle as mine but for chrome grilles. The recall # is 25V-060.”
