Chronology :
On April 8, 2022, an operator at GM’s Wentzville assembly plant discovered that a manual front passenger seat’s inboard track was missing a front hook bracket. GM’s seat structure engineer submitted the issue to GM’s Speak Up For Safety program on April 11, 2022 and GM opened a formal investigation on April 14, 2022. The seat frame supplier reviewed their manufacturing records and determined that the laser welder had inadvertently been set too low during two production shifts on March 22, 2022.
On May 4, 2022, GM’s investigator identified the population of manual seat frames that may not have been successfully contained by the supplier or at GM’s production facility. A review of field data completed on May 9, 2022 did not identify any claims or complaints related to this condition. On May 19, 2022, GM’s Safety Field Action Decision Authority (SFADA) decided to conduct a safety recall. On June 13, 2022, GM’s supplier corrected an error that misidentified some VINs that may have received subject seat tracks, resulting in a net increase of 97 VINs.

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 Product Safety Recall N222368320 Front Seat Hook Separation Page 4 of 6 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.
