Is my product affected?

2014 CHEVROLET CAPRICE; 2014 CHEVROLET CHEVEROLET SS

  • Brand CHEVROLET

Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

General Motors is recalling certain 2014 Chevrolet Caprice and Chevrolet SS vehicles that received replacement seat base assemblies during repair service. The problem is that the seat position target bracket may not have been transferred from the old seat to the new one. Without this bracket, the air bag may deploy at a higher intensity than intended, which increases the risk of injury during a crash.

To address this issue, GM will notify owners and dealers will inspect the affected vehicles at no charge. If necessary, dealers will install a seat frame equipped with a target bracket. Owners of potentially affected vehicles can contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020 to determine if their vehicle is involved in this recall (GM recall number 15567).
