What Happened
Your vehicle's front seat might have a problem with the way it's attached to the floor. The tabs that hold the seat in place might not be securely locked.
Risk if Unfixed
In a serious crash, the seat could break loose and cause more harm to you or a passenger in the back seat.
Free Fix
We'll fix the issue for free by making sure both tabs are securely locked in place. You'll get a call or letter from us starting September 19, 2003, to schedule an appointment at a dealership, or you can contact GM at 1-800-458-8006 to arrange it.

Original — What Happened
CERTAIN PASSENGER AND SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 207, "SEATING SYSTEMS." ONE OR BOTH FRONT ANCHOR TABS FOR THE FRONT BUCKET SEATS ARE NOT ENGAGED IN THE FLOOR PAN REINFORCEMENT SLOTS. A SEAT WITH ONLY ONE TAB ENGAGED OR NEITHER ENGAGED WOULD NOT MEET THE STATIC REARWARD LOADING TEST REQUIREMENTS OF THE STANDARD.
Original — Risk if Unfixed
IN SOME CRASH CONDITIONS, THE SEAT COULD PIVOT REARWARD AND ITS OCCUPANT OR A REAR SEAT OCCUPANT COULD BE INJURED MORE SEVERELY.
Original — Remedy
DEALERS WILL ENSURE THAT BOTH FRONT ANCHOR TABS ARE FULLY SEATED IN THE FLOOR PAN REINFORCEMENT SLOTS. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN SEPTEMBER 19, 2003. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT GM AT 1-800-458-8006.
