OSHAWA – GM is recalling 108,163 model year 2014-15 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 1500 pickups in Canada because the flexible steel cable that connects the seat belt to the vehicle can fatigue and separate over time as a result of the driver repeatedly bending the cable when entering the seat.

This issue was discovered through warranty data, and there have been no reports of crashes, injuries or fatalities related to this issue.

For trucks in the field, dealers will inspect the cable sleeve for wear and replace the tensioner if necessary. Dealers will also add a bracket to reposition the tensioner, and modify the side shield opening to provide more clearance for the tensioner.

The recall in Canada includes a stop-sale of approximately 349 new 2014 and 2015 model year pickups still on dealer lots. Dealers will repair the vehicles prior to delivering them to customers.

Customers will be notified by General Motors. They also can look up their vehicle identification number (VIN) at https://recalls.gm.ca to see if their vehicle is part of the recall.

GM also will recall and repair these models in other countries where they are sold, including the United States, Mexico, and several countries in Latin America and the Middle East. The total number of trucks to be recalled globally is 1,037,982. The cost of the recall is not expected to be significant and is covered within normal and customary warranty reserves.
