Known issues on the 2011 Tahoe. Five recalls are on the federal record. One concerns rear axle cross pins that were not heat treated properly and can fracture and shift, costing the driver directional control. Another covers intermediate steering shaft bolts left under-torqued, which can let the joint separate and the steering go with it. A third involves an ignition lock actuator that binds so the key can snap back from Start to Accessory, dropping engine, steering and brake assist together. Two inflator recalls complete the list. Air bags account for 183 of 456 complaints, structure for 63.
