What's wrong?
The front hub bearing bolts are the fasteners that hold the front hub bearing assembly in place. On affected 2025-2026 Chevrolet Tahoe, Yukon Xl, Suburban 1500, Escalade Esv, Yukon, and Escalade vehicles with 24-inch wheels, that hub supports the front wheel and lets it rotate while staying fixed to the suspension.
The problem starts with the wrong bolt specification. GM's service information and certain dealer-installed accessory brake package kits, including RPO 5JL, identified incorrect bolts for vehicles with 24-inch wheels. Dealers also reused production-installed bolts during some service work. Those bolts can loosen or deform over time instead of maintaining the correct attachment.
Before the hub attachment problem becomes obvious, drivers can hear noise or feel vibration from the affected wheel hub. Treat that as a warning sign and have the vehicle checked by a Chevrolet dealer.
Who's affected?
Covers Chevrolet, GMC, and Cadillac full-size SUVs from the 2025 and 2026 model years, all using the same front hub bearing bolt.
