Poll: How many have experienced a "rear axle bolt fracture" (POLL CLOSED 6-4-22)
- Thread starter CareerFiremanGuy
- Start date
Early production 2020 ST, Nov 19 (I think, I can go look if you want), 19,xxx miles, we have had it two years (got it June 2020, but bought it from a dealer who's GM used it for 5 months and it had 8,xxx miles on it when we got it).
Not sure about how many bolts are under there at the problem area.
Zero problems with the butt-end of the vehicle. Or anywhere else really.....

My Thoughts:
With 235 reported breaks vs. a total of 252,936 affected vehicles, that currently puts the odds of experiencing a break at 1 in 1,076.
It would also seem that the higher torque offered by the 3.0 twin turbo equipped vehicles would further increase the stress on the rear axle bolt in question.
So who knows how that would effect the 1:1,076 ratio? I don't know.
