Plain-English summary
Storyteller Overland, LLC is recalling certain 2024-2026 GXV Hilt vehicles. The recall addresses a defect where the secondary alternator pulley may fail. This failure results in the loss of power brakes and power steering.
An unexpected loss of power brakes increases the distance required to stop the vehicle. A loss of power steering increases the amount of effort needed to control the vehicle. Both situations may increase the risk of a crash.
Storyteller will replace the secondary alternator free of charge. Interim owner letters were mailed on August 13, 2026. A second letter will be mailed when the free remedy is available. Owners may contact Storyteller customer service at 1-888-999-7442.
