| 2021631 | 2021-10-14. Accessories. Issue: This recall is for certain driver's all-weather floor liners sold with new vehicles or as accessory parts sold at General Motors dealerships. On certain vehicles, the accelerator pedal could get stuck on the floor liner. If this happens, the vehicle may not slow down when you release the accelerator pedal. Note: If you continue to push the brake pedal, the brake-override system will allow you to stop the vehicle. Safety Risk: A stuck accelerator pedal could lead to unintended acceleration and increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Actions: General Motors will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to replace the driver's all-weather floor liner. You should remove the all-weather floor liner until you receive the replacement part. |
| 2021449 | 2021-07-23. High Voltage. Issue: On certain vehicles, the high-voltage battery could overheat when it is charged to over 90% of its capacity. As a result, the battery could create smoke or heat, which can melt or damage the battery and nearby parts. Safety Risk: A battery that overheats can create a fire risk. Corrective Actions: General Motors will notify owners by mail and replace defective battery modules. Until replacement battery modules are available, General Motors recommends the following: 1. Enable "Hilltop Reserve" (for 2017-2018 models) or "Target Charge Level" (for 2019 models) using the vehicle's infotainment centre to limit the state of charge to 90%. If you are unable to make these changes, or do not feel comfortable making them, you should visit a dealer to have these adjustments completed. 2. Charge your vehicle more frequently and avoid depleting the battery below approximately 113 km (70 miles) of remaining range, where possible. 3. Out of an abundance of caution, park your vehicle outside immediately after charging and not leave vehicle charging indoors overnight.

| 2018461 | 2018-08-30. Brakes. On certain vehicles, a problem with the rear brake system may cause gas bubbles to form in the brake fluid. This could cause a soft brake pedal feel and a reduction in brake performance, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will bleed the rear brakes. |
| 2018158 | 2018-04-04. Visual System. Certain vehicles may experience front windshield wiper stall during cold, snowy conditions due to a software error. If one or both windshield wipers were to stall, this could limit the driver's visibility, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the front wiper motors with wiper motors containing improved software. |
A campaign lists a year, a make and a model, and often only some of the vehicles built. A list with nothing on it is not a clearance either. The lookups below check one VIN.
