General Motors Recalls 469K Chevrolet Malibus For Seat Belt Fail; Here Is A ... - International Business Times
General Motors issued on Tuesday its largest recall of the year so far, asking owners of nearly 469,000 Chevrolet Malibu sedans from the 2011 and 2012 model years to being their cars in for seat belt repairs. The Detroit maker of Cadillacs, GMCs and Buicks said in a statement that a steel belt that holds the seat belt to the vehicle’s frame can wear and separate, preventing the belt from restraining passengers and drivers in the event of collisions. Last year, the automaker called back 1. 5 million crossover vehicles for a similar problem: 2009-2014 GMC Acadia, Buick Enclave and Chevrolet Traverse, and 2009-2010 Saturn Outlook.
