What's wrong?
The rear suspension toe link on the 2022 Acadia, XT6, and XT5 is a metal suspension link that helps hold the rear wheel at the correct angle. It connects part of the rear suspension to the wheel knuckle, so the tire tracks straight instead of steering itself as the suspension moves. The link depends on its fastening bolt being tightened to the specified torque.
On affected vehicles, the left-rear toe link bolt was not fully tightened during suspension assembly. GM traced the problem to error-proofing equipment that was set up incorrectly after an assembly-process move, so a missed tightening step was not flagged. A loose bolt can let the toe link loosen further or separate from the knuckle.
There is no warning sign before failure. An owner should not count on a noise, vibration, warning light, or handling change to appear before the link comes loose.
Who's affected?
Covers Acadia, XT6, and XT5 SUVs, all tied to the same rear suspension link assembly.

What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a GMC technician inspects the left rear suspension toe link fastener and replaces the fastener if it is loose or missing. The recall repair is free, with parts and labor covered. Prior out of pocket repairs are handled through the existing warranty, not through a separate reimbursement program, because all covered vehicles are under warranty. Ask the service desk how warranty coverage applies if you have prior repair paperwork.
