The right front intermediate driveshaft may fracture and separate while driving. If the front right intermediate drive shaft assembly separates while driving, the vehicle will lose propulsion, increasing the risk of a crash. If the assembly separates while parked on a grade, without the park brake engaged, the vehicle may move unintentionally, increasing the risk of a vehicle roll-away. GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the right front intermediate drive shaft assembly, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. Owners may contact GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782 or Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020. GM’s number for this recall is 17329. ## Related vehicle coverage - [2018 Chevrolet Equinox]() - [2018 GMC Acadia]() - [2018 GMC Terrain]() ## Structured page information ~~~json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@graph": [ { "@type": "Article", "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2017/09/recall-2018-chevrolet-equinox-gmc-terrain-2017-2018-gmc-acadia/#article", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2017/09/recall-2018-chevrolet-equinox-gmc-terrain-2017-2018-gmc-acadia/" }, "author": { "name": "Tim Esterdahl", "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/#/schema/person/82b06f99329f69a069a5ab6caed18593" }, "headline": "Recall: 2018 Chevrolet Equinox, GMC Terrain;
