N212333380 Chronology of Defect / Noncompliance Determination
573.6 (c) (6) (7)
Describe the chronology of events leading up to the defect decision or test data for the noncompliance decision:
On March 10, 2021, a GM employee submitted a report to GM’s Speak Up for Safety program after reviewing a warranty claim received on February 19, 2021 for a low-mileage 2021 Cadillac XT4 alleging a loud clicking noise was heard emanating from the passenger-side rear seat belt. The dealer had determined that the noise was caused by a missing lower fastener in the retractor assembly.
GM assigned a safety forensics engineer (SFE) to perform a preliminary analysis. The SFE undertook a search for similar allegations and discovered three additional potentially related claims (one of which was later ruled out) also involving XT4 vehicles. The two relevant claims were received on December 18, 2019 and April 21, 2020. In each case an occupant heard unusual noise that was determined to be caused by a loose or missing fastener in a rear seat belt retractor. Further, each of these vehicles had been manufactured at GM’s Fairfax, KS assembly plant. The SFE contacted the plant’s quality engineering manager who determined that all three of these vehicles had similar repair procedures performed on them during the assembly process, but it was unclear whether this may have contributed to the condition.
On May 4, 2021, GM opened a formal investigation into the condition. The assigned investigator determined that 2016-2021 Chevrolet Malibu vehicles assembled at Fairfax use the same assembly process on the righthand rear side and therefore added these vehicles to the scope of the investigation.
The investigator retrieved field data for the entire population of approximately 1.4 million 2019-2021 XT4 and 2016-2021 Malibu vehicles produced at Fairfax and found no additional related claims. Separately, the investigator undertook an analysis of the repair procedure and determined that the procedure could have been the cause of the loose or missing fasteners under a specific set of circumstances that was unlikely to occur, but possible. The investigator retrieved plant manufacturing records to determine whether other vehicles were subject to similar repairs. Those records identified 437 such vehicles out of the total population. VIN tracing was completed by the plant on July 29, 2021. Testing was also conducted that determined it was possible for the condition to be present with the absence of warning noises, even though each of the three relevant field reports did describe audible warning signs.
While no additional field reports had been found and the repair procedures are effective if performed correctly, GM’s Open Investigation Review board recommended a safety recall on August 9, 2021 to inspect the retractor fasteners in the other 437 vehicles that had been repaired and, if necessary, to replace the fasteners. 402 of the vehicles are located in the United States.
On August 13, 2021, GM’s Safety Field Action Decision Authority (SFADA) decided to conduct a safety recall.
GM is not aware of any accidents or injuries associated with this condition.

Dealer Responsibility – For USA & Export (USA States, Territories, and Possessions)
It is a violation of Federal law for a dealer to deliver a new motor vehicle or any new or used item of motor vehicle equipment (including a tire) covered by this notification under a sale or lease until the defect or noncompliance is remedied.
The US National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act provides that each vehicle that is subject to a recall of this type must be adequately repaired within a reasonable time after the customer has tendered it for repair. A failure to repair within sixty days after tender of a vehicle is prima facie evidence of failure to repair within a reasonable time. If the condition is not adequately repaired within a reasonable time, the customer may be entitled to an identical or reasonably equivalent vehicle at no charge or to a refund of the purchase price less a reasonable allowance for depreciation. To avoid having to provide these burdensome remedies, every effort must be made to promptly schedule an appointment with each customer and to repair their vehicle as soon as possible. In the recall notification letters, customers are told how to contact the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration if the recall is not completed within a reasonable time.
Dealer Responsibility – All
All new, used, GM Certified Used, courtesy transportation vehicles, dealer shuttle vehicles, etc. in dealers’ possession and subject to this recall must be held and inspected/repaired per the service procedure of this bulletin before customers take possession of these vehicles. Involved vehicles must be held and not delivered to customers, dealer-traded, released to auction, used for demonstration, or any other purpose.
All GM Certified Used vehicles currently in the dealers’ inventory within the Certified Pre-Owned Inventory System (CPOIS) will be de-certified and must be held and remedied per the service procedure in this bulletin. Upon submitting an accepted/paid warranty transaction in the Global Warranty Management (GWM) system, the vehicle can be re-certified for sale within the CPOIS system, or once again be used in the CTP program.
Dealers are to service all vehicles subject to this recall at no charge to customers, regardless of mileage, age of vehicle, or ownership, from this time forward.
Customers who have recently purchased vehicles sold from your vehicle inventory, and for which there is no customer information indicated on the dealer listing, are to be contacted by the dealer. Arrangements are to be made to make the required correction according to the instructions contained in this bulletin. Recall follow-up cards should not be used for this purpose, since the customer may not as yet have received the notification letter.

In summary, whenever a vehicle subject to this field action enters your vehicle inventory you must take the steps necessary to ensure the program correction has been made before selling the vehicle. In addition, for vehicles entering your facility for service, you are required to ensure the customer is aware of the open field action and make every reasonable effort to implement the program correction as set forth in this bulletin prior to releasing the vehicle.
Dealer Reports
For dealers with involved vehicles, a listing has been prepared and will be available through GM GlobalConnect Maxis Field Action Reports or sent directly to export dealers. The Inventory tab of the dealer reports will contain VINs that apply to this recall. This information is intended to assist dealers with the PROMPT COMPLETION of these vehicles. The Customer In-Service tab will contain customer names and addresses from Motor Vehicle Registration Records. The use of such motor vehicle registration data for any purpose other than follow-up necessary to complete this recall may be a violation of law in several states.
Courtesy Transportation – For USA & Canada
Courtesy transportation is available for customers whose vehicles are involved in a product program and still within the warranty coverage period. See General Motors Service Policies and Procedures Manual for courtesy transportation program details.
