- Manufacturer's number: 15822

## What is wrong

General Motors LLC \(GM\) is recalling certain model year 2014\-2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 trucks manufactured January 29, 2013, to January 21, 2015.  While entering the vehicle, the seat belt tensioner cable may be positioned such that the driver slides over it.  This movement may result in the fatigue and separation of the cable.


## What can happen

If the tensioner cable separates, the driver may not be properly restrained in the event of a crash, increasing their risk of injury.


## The remedy

GM will notify owners, and dealers will modify the vehicles to prevent the tensioner from being damaged.  Any tensioner that has already been damaged will be replaced, free of charge.  The recall began on August 11, 2016.  Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1\-800\-222\-1020 or GMC customer service at 1\-800\-462\-8782.  GM's number for this recall is 15822.


## 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 www.safercar.gov.
