NHTSA recall 97V037000
Seats · General Motors, LLC
Details
What's wrong: These vehicles exhibit a condition in which a pinch point exists in the recliner mechanism that can trap and pinch a person's hand or finger(s) when the easy-entry feature is activated.
Why it matters: This pinching can cut the hand or possibly sever the finger(s) without prior warning.
The fix: Dealers will install a protector cover over the recliner mechanism.
