Description
General motors llc (gm) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 chevrolet silverado and gmc sierra, and 2015 chevrolet tahoe and suburban vehicles equipped with a base radio and an internal amplifier.  The radios in the affected vehicles may become inoperative, and as a result, there would be no audible chime to notify the driver if the door is opened with the key in the ignition or no audible seat belt warning indicating the seat belts were not buckled.  As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard (fmvss) numbers 114, theft protection and rollaway prevention, and 208, occupant crash protection.
