Details

What's wrong: The owner's manual for the affected vehicles may be missing instructions on how to use the tether anchorage and child restraint anchorage systems. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (fmvss) number 225, "child restraint anchorage systems."

Why it matters: If the instructions are missing from the owner's manual, the child seat may be installed incorrectly and not be properly secured, increasing the risk of injury in a crash.

The fix: Gm will notify owners, and dealers will provide a corrected insert for the owners manual, free of charge. The recall began on September 25, 2017.
