What happened

General Motors is recalling certain 2009-2014 Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, and GMC Acadia vehicles, as well as 2009-2010 Saturn Outlook vehicles, because the steel cable connecting the seatbelt to the front outboard seats may fatigue and separate over time. If this occurs, the seatbelt may not properly restrain occupants, increasing the risk of injury in a crash.

General Motors will notify owners by mail and dealers will inspect and repair or replace the lap pretensioner at no charge. An interim notice was mailed in July 2014, with a second notice to follow once parts become available. Owners of affected vehicles should contact General Motors at 1-800-222-1020 (Chevrolet), 1-800-521-7300 (Buick), 1-800-462-8782 (GMC), or 1-800-553-6000 (Saturn) and reference recall number 14187.
