Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
General Motors is recalling certain 2012 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon vehicles manufactured between September 9, 2011, and October 19, 2011. These vehicles may have loose electrical connections in the driver's seat belt buckle that can cause the connection to be intermittent. This defect may prevent the driver from receiving a visual or audible warning that the seat belt is not fastened, increasing the risk of injury in a crash.
GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the seat belt buckle electrical connector terminals at no charge. The recall was expected to begin on or before December 7, 2011. Affected owners should contact Chevrolet at 1-800-630-2438 or GMC at 1-866-996-9463.
