DEFECT #1 - SEATS:FRONT ASSEMBLY:HEAD RESTRAINT
Posted on: 2017-01-31
Description
General motors llc (gm) is recalling certain 2016-2017 chevrolet cruze vehicles. A bracket used in the driver or front passenger seat-back recliner mechanism may have been incorrectly welded to the seat-back frame, as a result, in the event of a crash, the head-restraints may not function properly. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard (fmvss) number 202a, head restraints.
Consequence
In a crash, the seat-backs for the front seats may break, increasing the risk of injury to the occupants.
Corrective Action
Gm will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the front passenger seats, replacing any with seat-back frames that are incorrectly welded, free of charge. The recall began on february 28, 2017. Owners may contact chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020. Gm's number for this recall is 17035.
