2014 Caprice PPV recall - Seat position target bracket

Post by elc32955 »

This recall was posted October 9, 2015 on the NHTSA website.

Manufacturer: General Motors LLC

SUMMARY:
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2014 Chevrolet Caprice vehicles manufactured August 14, 2013, to February 3, 2014, and Chevrolet SS vehicles manufactured August 15, 2013, to February 16, 2014. The affected vehicles received replacement seat base assemblies during repair service, but during the work, the seat position target bracket may not have been transferred from the old seat to the new one. Without the seat position target bracket, the air bag may deploy at a higher intensity than necessary.

CONSEQUENCE:
An air bag that deploys at a higher than intended level increases the risk of injury during a crash.

REMEDY:
GM will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the vehicles and, if necessary, install a seat frame equipped with a target bracket, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin in November 2015. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020. GM's number for this recall is 15567.

NOTES:
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to http://www.safercar.gov" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;.
