NHTSA campaign 25V380000 · 5,353 units potentially affected · filed Jun 23, 2025
What's wrong
GEM WAEV LLC (GEM) is recalling certain 2022-2025 e2, e4, e6, and eLXD vehicles. The retaining fasteners between the ball joint and the hub strut may have been improperly tightened, which can result in ball joint separation from the wheel.
Why it matters
Ball joint separation can cause a loss of steering control, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Dealers will inspect and tighten the retaining fasteners or replace the ball joints as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed July 7, 2025. Owners may contact GEM customer service at 1-800-688-8680. This recall replaces NHTSA recall 24V971.
