Defect summary	General motors llc (gm) is recalling certain model year 2013 and 2014 chevrolet cruze vehicles equipped with a 1. 4l turbo engine, and manufactured between november 28, 2012, and march 7, 2014. On the affected vehicles, the right front half shaft may fracture and separate.
Consequence summary	If the half shaft fractures and separates while driving, the vehicle would lose power and coast to a stop. If a vehicle with a fractured half shaft is parked without the parking brake applied, the vehicle could move unexpectedly. Either condition increases the risk of a crash.
Corrective action	Gm will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the right half shaft, as needed, free of charge. Parts for the remedy are not currently available. Gm will send an interim letter to owners in may 2014. A second owner letter will be mailed when parts are available. Owners may contact chevrolet at 1-866-694-6546.

Some of those vehicles were repaired using defective parts. Those owners will be advised that they must have their vehicles remedied again under this campaign and that having the earlier recall completed did not remedy their vehicles.
