Details

What's wrong: The front seat belt buckles may be missing a rivet that secures the buckle head to the cable mounting strap.

Why it matters: If the securing rivet is missing, the buckle may separate from the cable mounting strap in the event of a crash, preventing the occupant from being properly restrained, thereby increasing the risk of injury.

The fix: Gm will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the front seat buckle assemblies, replacing them if the rivets are missing, free of charge. The recall began February 7, 2019.
