## What is wrong

General Motors LLC \(GM\) is recalling certain 2018\-2019 Cadillac CT6, Escalade ESV, Chevrolet Suburban, Volt, and GMC Yukon XL vehicles.  Certain second\-row or third\-row rear seatbelts retractor assemblies may not automatically lock when the seatbelt is fully pulled out of the retractor, possibly preventing a child seat from being properly secured.  As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard \(FMVSS\) number 208, "Occupant Crash Protection."


## What can happen

If the child seat is not properly secured in the event of a crash, it can increase the risk of injury.


## The remedy

GM will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the rear seatbelt retractors and replace them if necessary, free of charge.  The recall began November 7, 2018.  Owners may contact Cadillac customer service at 1\-800\-458\-8006, Chevrolet customer service at 1\-800\-222\-1020 or GMC customer service at 1\-800\-462\-8782.  GM's number for this recall is 18315.
