							| Description | 
							General Motors (GM) is recalling certain model year 2013 and 2014 Chevrolet Cruze vehicles equipped with manual transmissions (MF3/MR5) and manufactured January 24, 2013, through August 1, 2013.  On the affected vehicles, the right front half shaft may fracture and separate. | 
						 
						
							| Consequences | 
							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 | 
							General Motors has notified owners.  Dealers will replace the half shaft assembly, free of charge.  The safety recall began on October 15, 2013.  Owners may contact General Motors at 1-800-521-7300.  This is General Motors campaign number 13276.  | 
						 
						
							| Notes | 
							Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov. |

				I bought a 2013 cruze 3 weeks ago and have not been able to take delivery of it yet because of this recall. I've called everyone I know to call and can not get an answer about when the part will be available. I am getting call asking about how I like the car but I'm not sure what to tell them.
