DEFECT #3 - SEATS
Posted on: 2015-10-09
Description
General motors llc (gm) is recalling certain model year 2014 chevrolet caprice vehicles manufactured august 14, 2013, to february 3, 2014, and chevrolet ss vehicles manufactured august 15, 2013, to february 16, 2014. The affected vehicles received replacement seat base assemblies during repair service, but during the work, the seat position target bracket may not have been transferred from the old seat to the new one.
