SEAT BELTS Safety Recalls

High Priority #01V109000 Plain English
Component

SEAT BELTS

Manufacturer
GENERAL MOTORS CORP.
What Happened
There's a label on your airbag that's supposed to show you how to use it properly. Unfortunately, the label on some of these vehicles is too small, so it doesn't meet safety standards.
Risk if Unfixed
This means your airbag label doesn't meet important safety requirements, which could put you at risk if there's an accident.
Free Fix
Your dealer will give you a new airbag label for free, along with instructions on how to install it. You can either wait for the label to arrive in the mail or visit your dealer to get it installed right away.

High Priority #00V228003 Plain English
Component

SEAT BELTS

Manufacturer
GENERAL MOTORS CORP.
What Happened
The buckle on your seatbelt is a critical part that keeps you safe in a crash. It's made by TRW, and some of these buckles didn't get the special heat treatment they needed to work properly.
Risk if Unfixed
If you're in a collision, your seatbelt buckle might not lock properly, which means you could be thrown around the cabin or even ejected from the vehicle. This could lead to serious injury or even death.
Free Fix
Your dealer will check the date code on your seatbelt buckle and replace it with a new one that meets safety standards, free of charge.
