2012 CHEVROLET MALIBU; 2011 CHEVROLET MALIBU
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
General Motors is recalling certain 2011-2012 Chevrolet Malibu vehicles manufactured between April 8, 2010, and October 11, 2012, because the flexible steel cables connecting the seat belts to the vehicle at the outboard positions of the driver and front passenger seats may break. The cables can become bent when sat on during vehicle entry, and repeated bending may eventually cause them to fail. If a cable breaks, the seat occupant may not be properly restrained during a crash, increasing injury risk.
GM will notify affected owners and dealers will replace the outboard lap anchor mounting bracket and inspect the flexible steel cable, replacing it if necessary, at no cost. The recall began on November 16, 2015. Owners of affected vehicles should contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020, and can reference GM recall number 15031.
