SEAT BELTS

Manufacturer
General Motors, LLC
What Happened
Your vehicle's seat belt system relies on the bolts that secure the seat belt to the car. Unfortunately, some of these bolts may have been installed incorrectly in your 2020-2021 model.
Risk if Unfixed
If the seat belt isn't properly attached, it might not keep you safe in a crash. In a severe collision, the seat belt could fail to restrain you, increasing the risk of serious injury.
Free Fix
Your dealer will replace the faulty bolts with the correct ones, free of charge. You'll get a notification from the manufacturer, and you should schedule the repair as soon as possible.

EQUIPMENT:OTHER:LABELS

Manufacturer
General Motors, LLC
What Happened
The label in your GMC Canyon is like a guide that tells you how much weight your vehicle can handle. Unfortunately, this label might be telling you it can handle more weight than it actually can.
Risk if Unfixed
If you follow the incorrect label, you might unintentionally overload your vehicle. This could increase the risk of a crash, especially if you're driving with a heavy load.
Free Fix
You'll get a new label in the mail that accurately shows your vehicle's weight capacity. You can install it yourself, or bring it to your GMC dealer for free. Either way, this fix is on the house, and you should take care of it as soon as you can.
