GM Recall #:
N162075000
Recall Title:
Front Seat Discrepant Welds on Manual Recliner Bracket
Recall Description:
General Motors has decided that certain 2016 and 2017 model year Chevrolet Cruze vehicles fail to conform to Federal/Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 202a, “Head restraints.” In some of these vehicles, a bracket used in the driver or front passenger seat-back recliner mechanism may have been incorrectly welded to the seat-back frame. Affected vehicles may not meet the head-restraint requirements of S4.3.1(a) of FMVSS/CMVSS 202a in a crash. In a crash, affected front seats may have reduced capability to manage occupant loads or maintain occupant position, and could potentially separate, increasing the risk of injury to occupants.
