Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
General Motors is recalling certain 2011-2013 Chevrolet Caprice and 2008-2009 Pontiac G8 vehicles because the flexible steel cables connecting the seat belts to the vehicle may break from repeated bending when occupants sit on them while entering. If a cable breaks, the seat belt may not properly restrain an occupant in a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
GM will notify owners and replace the seat belt tensioner assembly, including the steel cable, at no cost. The replacement parts reposition the cable away from where occupants enter the vehicle and use a more flexible cable at a more upright angle. Owners of affected vehicles should contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020 or Pontiac customer service at 1-800-762-2737 to arrange the replacement. The recall number is 15206.
