Seat belts, frontApr 8, 2021
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.
A broken pretensioner cable reduces the effectiveness of the driver's seat belt, increasing the risk of injury.
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.

Service brakes, hydraulic, antilock/traction control/electronic limited slip, wheel speed sensor/tone ringOct 24, 2019
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2015-2020 Chevrolet Suburban, Tahoe, and GMC Yukon, and 2014-2018 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 vehicles equipped with a 5.3-liter engine, a 3.08-ratio rear axle and four-wheel drive. If a wheel-speed sensor fails, while the vehicle is traveling between 41 and 60 mph in four-wheel or automatic mode, the Electronic-Brake Control Module (EBCM) software may activate the driveline-protection system.
Unintended activation of the driveline-protection system will cause unintended braking on the wheel on the opposite side of the failed sensor, causing the vehicle to pull to one side unexpectedly, increasing the risk of a crash.
GM will notify owners, and dealers will reprogram the EBCM, free of charge. The recall began December 11, 2019. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-630-2438 or GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782. GM's number for this recall is N192261050.

Service brakes, hydraulic, power assist, vacuumSep 6, 2019
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2015-2017 Cadillac Escalade, 2014-2018 Chevrolet Silverado, GMC Sierra, 2015-2018 Chevrolet Suburban, Tahoe, GMC Yukon vehicles. The amount of vacuum created by the vacuum pump may decrease over time.
As the vacuum level drops, the brake assist decreases, increasing braking effort, extending the distance required to stop the vehicle, thereby increasing the risk of a crash.
GM will notify owners, and dealers will reprogram the Electronic Brake Control Module, free of charge. The recall began October 8, 2019. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-630-2438, Cadillac customer service at 1-800-458-8006 or GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782. GM's number for this recall is N192268490.

Air bags, frontalJul 10, 2017
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2014-2016 Buick Lacrosse and Chevrolet Spark EV, Caprice PPV and SS vehicles, 2014-2017 Buick Encore and Chevrolet Corvette, Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 vehicles, 2015-2016 Cadillac Escalade and Escalade ESV, Chevrolet Tahoe, Trax, Suburban and Silverado 2500 and 3500 and GMC Yukon and Yukon XL vehicles, and 2015-2017 GMC Sierra HD 2500 and 3500 vehicles. While being previously remedied for recall 16V-651, the affected vehicles may not have received the complete software update necessary to remedy the recall condition. Without the update, certain driving conditions may cause the air bag sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) software to activate a diagnostic test. During this test, deployment of the frontal air bags and the seat belt pretensioners would not occur in the event of a crash.
A failure of the front air bags or seat belt pretensioners to deploy in the event of a crash necessitating deployment increases the risk of injury to the driver and front passenger.
GM will notify owners, and dealers will reflash the SDM software. Vehicles that have had a previous air bag deployment will have the SDM replaced. These repairs will be performed free of charge. The recall began on August 4, 2017. Owners may contact Buick customer service at 1-800-521-7300, 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.

Steering, electric power assist systemJun 29, 2017
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 vehicles. The vehicles may have a temporary loss of electric power steering (EPS) assist, especially during low-speed turning maneuvers.
If EPS assist is lost and then returns, the driver might lose temporary control of the steering wheel, increasing the risk of a crash.
GM will notify owners, and dealers will update the EPS module software, free of charge. The recall began on August 10, 2017. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020 or GMC customer service at 1-800-432-8782. GM's number for this recall is 17276.

PURCHASED A NEW 1500 IN MAY OF 2014 AND A FEW MONTHS LATER NOTICED THE ENGINE HAS A RANDOM MISS BOTH WHILE DRIVING AS WELL AS AT IDLE. WILL EXPERIENCE A SIGNIFICANT JERK AND WILL ALSO HESITATE TO PICK UP SPEED SHORTLY AFTER EXPERIENCING THE JERK. I HAVE REPORTED THIS PROBLEM TO CHEVROLET ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS, BUT ONLY HAVE 4 INVOICES (FROM 11/20/14-8/26/15) WITH THE COMPLAINT LISTED. EACH TIME CHEVROLET STATED NO PROBLEM FOUND OR PRESENT EXCEPT FOR THE MOST RECENT INVOICE DATED AUG. 26, 2015 IN WHICH AFTER CHEVROLET SERVICE MANAGER BECAME INVOLVED BECAUSE I COMPLAINED ABOUT AN UNRESOLVED ISSUE, HE DID STATE THAT THE PROBLEM WAS NOTICED BY A "SENIOR SERVICE TECHNICIAN" AND SINCE NO CODE WAS PRESENT TO DIAGNOSE OR CORRECT THE PROBLEM, GM WAS CONTACTED. WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT GM STATED "THEY ARE AWARE OF THE CONCERN BUT AS YET HAVE NOT FORMULATED A REPAIR." I AM PRESENTLY STILL EXPERIENCING THE ISSUE, BUT SINCE GM HAS NOT "FORMULATED A REPAIR" FOR AN ISSUE THAT THEY ARE UNSURE OF THE CAUSE AND IN WHICH THEY FEEL "IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE" I AM DRIVING A VEHICLE THAT COULD STALL AT ANY GIVEN TIME. BE SURE EACH COMPLAINT IS DOCUMENTED VIA INVOICE NUMBER AND MAKE SURE WHAT YOU ARE TOLD VIA PHONE AND OR IN PERSON IS WHAT IS STATED ON THE INVOICE.
