SEAT BELTS Safety Recalls

High Priority #01V109000 Plain English
Component

SEAT BELTS

Manufacturer
GENERAL MOTORS CORP.
What Happened
Your vehicle has a label on the sunvisor that shows where the airbags are. In some Oldsmobile and Buick vehicles, this label doesn't meet safety standards because it's too small.
Risk if Unfixed
If you're involved in a crash, this label might not help you correctly position yourself for airbag deployment, increasing your risk of injury. It's a safety issue, but it's not a direct safety feature that can fail while driving.
Free Fix
Your dealer will give you a new, compliant airbag label with instructions on how to install it. If you're in a hurry, you can also get the label and instructions at the dealer for free. Just show up with the recall notice.

High Priority #00V228003 Plain English
Component

SEAT BELTS

Manufacturer
GENERAL MOTORS CORP.
What Happened
The seatbelt buckle in your vehicle is a critical safety part that keeps you secure in case of a crash. In certain models, the buckle might not be strong enough to properly restrain you, which is a serious issue.
Risk if Unfixed
If you're in a crash, the seatbelt might not work as it should, and you could be at risk of injury or worse, because you won't be properly restrained.
Free Fix
Your dealer will check the buckle's date code and replace it with a new, safer one if necessary – and this service is free to you.
