NHTSA recall 99V009000
Child Seat · General Motors, LLC
Details
What's wrong: Some of these vehicles may be missing a seat belt retractor clutch spring and/or pawl spring in the child seat. If the clutch spring was missing, the seat belt would lock in the retracted position and could not be used. If the pawl spring was missing, the seat belt restraint would continually play out and would not lock.
Why it matters: These conditions could increase the occupant's risk of injury in the event of a vehicle crash.
The fix: Dealers will inspect the seat belts on the child seats, and if necessary, replace the child seat.
