Last I heard....
GM relates the cause to hard impacts to the side of the tire, which is normal, since spindles are not designed to take hard impacts to the side. These could be caused by slamming a curb while sliding sideways, etc. Not privy to this information, so can't say, just what I have heard.
In addition, last I read in the paper was the NHTSA has lost all the 941 Forms GM submitted on this subject, and was requested GM resubmit the information for their investigation.
