What happened

General Motors is recalling certain 2013-2016 Chevrolet Sonic and Trax vehicles and 2013-2015 Chevrolet Spark vehicles equipped with a Bring Your Own Media radio. The affected radios may fail to produce an audible warning chime when the driver leaves the key in the ignition and waits 10 minutes or longer before opening the door, which increases the risk that the driver could leave the vehicle unattended with the key still inside.

To address this issue, GM will notify owners and have dealers update the radio software at no charge, though the manufacturer has not yet announced when notifications will be sent. According to the recall record, affected consumers should contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020. The recall is identified as GM number 17130.
