What this recall means for you
Some 2021-2022 full-size SUVs with third-row seats may have a seat belt buckle assembly where the rivet attaching the buckle to its mounting bracket was improperly formed. This affects the left or right third-row buckle.
A deformed rivet means the seat belt may not properly restrain a passenger, which raises the risk of injury in a crash.
Dealers will inspect the rivet head on both third-row buckle assemblies and replace any buckle assembly as needed, free of charge. Owners can contact Chevrolet, Cadillac, or GMC customer service, or check their VIN for open recalls.
