What Happened
The seat hook bracket assembly is a part that helps keep your front seat secure. In some 2013-2015 Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, and GMC vehicles, this assembly might not be properly welded, which could cause the seat to become loose during a severe crash.
Risk if Unfixed
If your seat isn't properly secured, you're at a higher risk of injury in a crash. A loose seat could cause you to move around inside the vehicle, which could lead to serious harm.
Free Fix
Your dealer will inspect the seat assembly and replace the lower seat track if needed, all at no cost to you. You'll get a notice when it's time to bring your vehicle in for the repair.
