What’s wrong with it?
An unexpected loss of power brakes increases the distance required to stop. A loss of power steering increases the amount of effort needed to control the vehicle. Both situations may increase the risk of a crash.
Storyteller Overland, LLC (Storyteller) is recalling certain 2024-2026 GXV Hilt vehicles.
The secondary alternator pulley may fail, resulting in a loss of power brakes and power steering.
