What this recall means for you
Some front seats in these vehicles may be missing their rear attachment bolts, so the seat may not be fully secured to the floor. If an occupied front seat is not properly bolted down, it may move during a crash, which increases the risk of injury to the person sitting in it.
The repair is free. An authorized dealer will inspect the attachments on both front seats and install the missing attachment bolts where needed. General Motors will also notify affected owners. You can contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-630-2438 or Buick customer service at 1-800-521-7300 for more information.
To check whether your vehicle has any open recalls, look up your VIN on the NHTSA recall lookup or ask any authorized dealer to check it for you.
