Recalls
3 vehicle recalls from the manufacturer. Repairs are free. Check your VIN to see if one is still open on your car.
Visibility (wipers, glass) Vehicle recall #14V375000 · 2014 · 4,794 vehicles
What's wrong: In the affected vehicles, the windshield wiper motor gear teeth May strip causing the windshield wipers to become inoperative.
Why it matters: Inoperative wipers will not clear rain or snow, reducing the driver's visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix: Gm will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the wiper module assembly and replace any affected ones, free of charge. The recall began on August 22, 2014.
Seats Vehicle recall #14V446000 · 2014 · 124,007 vehicles
What's wrong: Due to an incomplete weld on the seat hook bracket assembly, the front seats in the affected vehicles May not stay secured in place during a high load condition such as a crash.
Why it matters: A seat that does not stay secured increases the risk of occupant injury in a vehicle crash.
The fix: Gm will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the seat hook bracket assembly weld and replace the lower seat track, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on August 15, 2014.
Seats Vehicle recall #15V636000 · 2015 · 23 vehicles
What's wrong: The affected vehicles received replacement seat base assemblies during repair service, but during the work, the seat position target bracket May not have been transferred from the old seat to the new one. Without the seat position target bracket, the air bag May deploy at a higher intensity than necessary.
Why it matters: An air bag that deploys at a higher than intended level increases the risk of injury during a crash.
The fix: Gm will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the vehicles and, if necessary, install a seat frame equipped with a target bracket, free of charge. The recall began on December 28, 2015.
