What happened

General Motors is recalling certain 2014-2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, 2015-2016 Chevrolet Tahoe, and 2014-2015 GMC Sierra 1500 vehicles because the driver's seat belt pretensioner cable may be broken or incorrectly installed from a previous repair. The flexible steel cable can become fatigued and separate when repeatedly bent as the driver enters and exits the vehicle, which reduces the seat belt's effectiveness and increases the risk of injury.

To address this issue, GM will notify owners and replace the driver seat belt lap pretensioner at no charge. Affected owners should contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020 or GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782. The recall began on May 5, 2021, and GM's reference number for this recall is N212330040.
