General Motors (GM) is recalling more than 70,000 cars due to faulty hood molding that may cause the front grille of the vehicles to detach, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).

According to a notice first reported to NHTSA on Thursday, the recall covers 70,768 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 vehicles.

The recall specifically concerns models with chrome front grille deflectors, as the attachments that hold the front grille deflector may fracture over time, causing it to detach while driving and increasing crash risk.

According to GM's notice to the NHSTA, the company received 1,225 field complaints between April 2022 and December 2024 potentially related to this condition, including four allegedly associated accidents. No injuries have been reported as a result.

Which GM cars are included in the recall?

Only 2022 GMC Sierra 1500 vehicles with chrome grille deflectors produced after GM’s 2022 model year mid-cycle enhancement for the Sierra (RPO J22) are included in this recall.
