Manufacturer
General Motors LLC
What Happened
The steel cable that connects your seatbelt to the front seat in your vehicle could weaken over time and break, which would make your seatbelt less effective in a crash.
Risk if Unfixed
If the cable breaks, your seatbelt might not keep you safe in a collision, increasing the risk of injury.
Free Fix
Your dealer will inspect your seatbelt system and replace the lap pretensioner if necessary, at no cost to you. You'll receive a notice in July 2014, and a second notice will come once the replacement parts are available.
