Details

What's wrong: If the head restriant is at its lowest position and it falls forward, it will not meet the height required by the standard.

Why it matters: In the event of a vehicle crash, the lowered head restraint may increase the occupant's risk of neck injury.

The fix: General motors will notify owners, and dealers will replace the head restraints, free of charge. The recall began on December 4, 2012.
