The Chevy Cruze has a recall related to the catalytic converter, which was initiated by both Chevrolet and the NHTSA because of a high failure rate of this component. The issue involves the ceramic parts inside the converter possibly cracking due to the extreme heat from the engine's exhaust gases. This could cause the pieces to break off and either be expelled through the exhaust or remain inside, resulting in a rattling noise. If your vehicle falls within the VIN range affected, a Chevrolet dealership will replace the catalytic converter with a new one at no cost to you. Simply reach out to them to set up an appointment, as the replacement process typically takes about two hours.
