IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL

October 2017

This notice applies to your vehicle, VIN: ________________________

Dear General MotorseBay logo Customer:

This notice is sent to you in accordance with the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.

General MotorseBay logo has decided that certain 2017-2018 model year ChevroleteBay logo Silverado HD Double Cab and GMC Sierra

HD Double Cab vehicles fail to conform, in part, to Federal/Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 209,

Seat Belt Assemblies.”  As a result, GM is conducting a recall.  We apologize for this inconvenience.  However, we are concerned about your safety and continued satisfaction with our products.

I M P O R T A N T

  • Your vehicle is involved in GM recall 17376.
  • Schedule an appointment with your GM dealer.
  • This service will be performed for you at no charge.

 

Why is your vehicle being recalled?The supplier of the driver’s and front passenger’s seat-belt retractor assemblies in these vehicles built those assemblies with different torsion bars than were used in testing the vehicles for compliance with the seat-belt elongation requirements of Section 4.4(b)(5) of FMVSS 209.  If the front passenger airbag in these vehicles is manually turned off and inadvertently left off with an adult in the front passenger seat, this condition may increase the risk of injury to the front passenger in a frontal crash.
What will we do? Your GM dealer will replace the front passenger-side seat-belt retractor assembly with an assembly containing the correct torsion bar.  This service will be performed for you at no charge.  Because of service scheduling requirements, it is likely that your dealer will need your vehicle longer than the actual service correction time of approximately 30 minutes.
What should you do? You should contact your GM dealer to arrange a service appointment as soon as possible.  Make sure the front passenger airbag in the vehicle is turned on with an adult passenger in the front passenger seat.
Do you have questions? If you have questions or concerns that your dealer is unable to resolve, please contact the appropriate Customer Assistance Center at the number listed below.
