What to do:
* Check NHTSA's Website: The best resource is the official NHTSA website (nhtsa.gov). You can enter your vehicle's VIN to see if any recalls, past or present, apply to your specific 1999 Chevy Tahoe.
* Check your Owner's Manual: Your owner's manual may contain information about past recalls or known issues.
* Consult your Local Chevy Dealership: If you suspect a problem with your steering shaft, take your Tahoe to a certified mechanic or Chevy dealership for an inspection.
In short, while there's no current general recall, there's always a possibility of a specific problem with your individual vehicle. It's best to proactively check the resources mentioned above.
