A lap portion of the seat belt routing that is not low and snug on the hips can allow unfavourable occupant kinetics in the event of a crash.  Moreover, the higher routing allows the lap belt to ride up on an occupant's abdomen instead of fitting low around their hipbones, and therefore, can expose them to more risk of abdominal and internal organ injury.  Correction: Dealers will modify the guide loop.","mfr_campaign":"05037","units":73473,"do_not_drive":null,"park_outside":null,"notification":"Safety Mfr","match":"exact","models":["ESCALADE","ESCALADE ESV","ESCALADE EXT"],"built_from":null,"built_to":null,"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/recalls/tc/2005119"},{"source":"nhtsa","country":"us","campaign":"05V163000","date":"2005-04-22","manufacturer":"GENERAL MOTORS CORP.","component":"SEAT BELTS:REAR/OTHER","summary":"ON CERTAIN CREW CAB PICKUP TRUCKS AND SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES, THE 2ND ROW CENTER OCCUPANT SEAT BELT ROUTING MAY MAKE IT DIFFICULT TO POSITION THE LAP PORTION OF THE SAFETY BELT LOW AROUND THE HIPS OF OCCUPANTS, ESPECIALLY SMALLER OCCUPANTS, SEATED IN THIS POSITION.

Tailgate support cable corrosion may not be visible because of the plastic sheathing covering the cable.  If one cable fractured, the remaining cable may retain the tailgate in a horizontal position.  If the remaining cable was weakened by corrosion, it could fracture within moments of the first cable fracture.  If both cables fractured, the tailgate would suddenly drop approximately 10 degrees and strike the top surface of the rear bumper.  If anyone is sitting or standing on the horizontal surface of the tailgate when both cables fracture, they could fall and be injured.  On vehicles without a rear bumper, the tailgate may drop to a lower position.  Correction:  Dealers will replace the existing galvanized support cables with stainless steel support cables.","mfr_campaign":"04007","units":301974,"do_not_drive":null,"park_outside":null,"notification":"Safety TC","match":"base","models":["ESCALADE EXT"],"built_from":null,"built_to":null,"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/recalls/tc/2004102"},{"source":"nhtsa","country":"us","campaign":"04V129000","date":"2004-03-17","manufacturer":"GENERAL MOTORS CORP.","component":"STRUCTURE:BODY:TAILGATE:HINGE AND ATTACHMENTS","summary":"ON CERTAIN PICKUP TRUCKS AND SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES, THE GALVANIZED STEEL TAILGATE SUPPORT CABLES THAT RETAIN THE TAILGATE IN THE FULL OPEN (HORIZONTAL) POSITION MAY CORRODE, WEAKEN, AND EVENTUALLY FRACTURE.
