Chevrolet/Traverse 2009-2010
GMC/Acadia 2009-2010

MANUFACTURER: General Motors Corp.
MFR'S REPORT DATE: August 12, 2010
NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 10V375000
NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: N/A
COMPONENT: Seat Belts
POTENTIAL NUMBER OF UNITS AFFECTED: 207210
SUMMARY:
General Motors is recalling certain model year 2009-2010 Chevrolet Traverse, Buick Enclave, GMC Acadia, and Saturn Outlook vehicles. The
second row seat side trim shield restricts the upward rotation of the safety belt buckle when the seat back is returned to a seating position after being
folded flat. If the buckle contacts the seat frame, additional effort is required to return the seat to a seating position. If sufficient force is applied, the
buckle cover could be pushed down the strap, exposing and partially depressing the red release button.
CONSEQUENCE:
The safety belt may not restrain the occupant as intended during a crash, increasing the risk of injury to the seat occupant.
REMEDY:
Dealers will modify the second row seat side trim shields. If a safety belt buckle is damaged, dealers will replace it free of charge. The safety recall
is expected to begin on or before August 31, 2010. Owners may contact Chevrolet at 1-800-630-2438, Buick at 1-866-608-8080, GMC at
1-866-996-9463, and Saturn at 1-800-972-8876, or at the owner center at www.gmownercenter.com.
NOTES:
GM'S recall No. 100243. Owners may also contact The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Vehicle Safety Hotline at
