SEAT BELTS

Manufacturer
General Motors LLC
What Happened
The seatbelt on your vehicle uses a flexible steel cable to secure you in place. However, this cable can weaken over time and break, which could leave you unprotected in the event of a crash.
Risk if Unfixed
If the cable breaks, your seatbelt might not be able to hold you securely, increasing the risk of serious injury in the unlikely event of a collision.
Free Fix
Your dealer will inspect your seatbelt and replace the lap pretensioner if it's damaged, all at no cost to you. You'll receive a letter in July 2014, and once parts are available, a second letter will follow, so be on the lookout for those notices.

AIR BAGS:SIDE/WINDOW

Manufacturer
General Motors LLC
What Happened
The side impact air bag and seat belt pretensioners in your Enclave, Acadia, Traverse, or Outlook are designed to keep you safe in a side collision. The wires that connect these safety features might be more resistant than they should be, which could cause them to fail in a crash.
Risk if Unfixed
If these safety features don't deploy in a side collision, you're at a higher risk of injury to your head, neck, and chest. This is because the air bag and seat belt won't be able to help absorb the impact and protect you from harm.
Free Fix
Your dealer will replace the faulty wiring connections with new, reliable ones, free of charge. This repair will ensure your side impact air bags and seat belt pretensioners work as they should in an emergency.
