What this recall means for you
The console compartment lid latch assembly may not keep the console door closed during a crash. If the door opens, items stored in the console could be thrown forward and strike occupants, increasing the risk of injury. The affected vehicles also do not meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 201 for occupant protection in interior impact.
The repair is free. Dealers will replace the console compartment door latch assembly at no charge. Owners will be notified by mail. You can also contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020 or GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782.
