## What is wrong

General Motors, LLC \(GM\) is recalling certain 2014\-2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, 2015\-2016 Chevrolet Tahoe, and 2014\-2015 GMC Sierra 1500 vehicles that may have received an incorrect replacement tensioner cable assembly as part of a previous recall remedy or a subsequent repair.  The flexible steel cable connecting the driver's seat belt to the outboard side of the seat may be repeatedly bent over the seat side shield as the driver enters and exits the vehicle causing the cable to fatigue and separate.


## What can happen

A broken pretensioner cable reduces the effectiveness of the driver's seat belt, increasing the risk of injury.


## The remedy

GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the driver seat belt lap pretensioner, free of charge.  The recall began on May 5, 2021.  Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1\-800\-222\-1020, and GMC customer service at 1\-800\-462\-8782.  GM's number for this recall is N212330040.
