Air bags, side/window, curtain, inflatorJul 1, 2021
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2015-2016 GMC Sierra 1500, 2500, 3500, and Chevrolet Silverado 1500, 2500, and 3500 trucks. The roof-rail air bag (RRAB) inflator end cap may detach from the inflator, or the inflator sidewall may rupture.
A separated inflator end cap or inflator rupture can allow compressed gas to escape, resulting in the end cap or other components being propelled into the vehicle, increasing the risk of injury or crash.
Dealers will replace the left and right side RRAB modules, free of charge. Interim owner notification letters informing owners of the safety risk were mailed on August 18, 2021. Owners will receive a second notice when the remedy is available. Phase I owner notification letters were mailed on May 5, 2022. Phase II owner notification letters are expected to be mailed on May 31, 2022. Owners may contact GMC customer service at 1-888-988-7267 or Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020.

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.

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.

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.

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.

BRAKES FAIL AT LOW SPEED. PROBLEM DIAGNOSED BY CHEVROLET DEALER AND DETERMINED TO BE THE SAME PROBLEM AS OUTLINED IN CHEVROLET TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN PIT5361B. GM NOT COVERING REPAIR AS THEY CLAIM NOTHING IS WRONG AND THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY.

YESTERDAY (18-MAR-2019), I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE AT A RESTAURANT AND ALL OF A SUDDEN WHEN I TRIED TO APPLY MY BRAKES ON MY 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 CREW CAB, THE PEDAL WAS EXTREMELY HARD TO PUSH. THE TRUCK CONTINUED MOVING AFTER I EXERTED AS MUCH FORCE AS I COULD ON THE PEDAL. LUCKILY THE CURB ASSISTED IN STOPPING THE TRUCK BEFORE I CRASHED INTO A WALL AS I HAD MY TWO YOUNG CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE WITH ME AT THE TIME. I AM ALSO GLAD MY WIFE WAS NOT DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME. I DON'T BELIEVE THAT SHE WOULD HAVE HAD ENOUGH FORCE TO STOP THE VEHICLE UNDER THE CONDITIONS OBSERVED. NO WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON BEFORE, DURING, OR AFTER THE INCIDENT. THE SYMPTOMS MATCH THOSE REPORTED UNDER BULLETIN PIT5361 REGARDING A KNOWN ISSUE WITH FAILURE OF THE BRAKE VACUUM PUMP. I PURCHASED THE TRUCK NEW IN AUGUST 2015. THE TRUCK HAS ABOUT 51,000 MILES ON IT.

LOW SPEED BRAKE ISSUE- BRAKING EFFORT INCREASED CONSIDERABLY AND VEHICLE AND CAUSED BECOME DIFFICULT TO STOP. WHILE PARKING VEHICLE IN PRIVATE PARKING LOT THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAME VERY FIRM WITH NO TAKE UP AND TOOK CONSIDERABLE EFFORT TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO A STOP. IMMEDIATELY BROUGHT VEHICLE TO MECHANIC WHO INFORMED ME THAT THE PROBLEM WAS FAILING BRAKE BOOSTER AND THAT IT IS A COMMON DEFECT WITH THIS MAKE MODEL OF VEHICLE. ALSO INFORMED ME THAT THE WHEN THE BOOSTER BEGINS TO FAIL CAN DEPOSIT CONTAMINATES IN THE OIL SYSTEM THAT CAN PREMATURELY DAMAGE THE ENGINE. A INTERNET SEARCH PRODUCED A LONG LIST OF CUSTOMER WITH SIMILAR VEHICLES DESCRIBING THEIR EXPERIENCE OF SIMILAR ISSUES. I CALLED THE LOCAL CHEVY DEALER AND THEY ALSO INFORMED ME THAT IS COMMON ISSUE BUT THERE WERE NO RECALLS OR MANUFACTURE ANNOUNCEMENTS ON THE VEHICLE SO THEY WOULD NOT REIMBURSE FOR THE REPAIR. I CONTACTED GM AND THEY LOGGED MY COMPLAINT GM CASE #[XXX] BUT THEY WOULD BE UNABLE TO OFFER ANY REPAIR ASSISTANCE AT THIS TIME. WILL REPAIR VEHICLE AT MY OWN EXPENSE. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TT

THE CONTACT HAD TO APPLY MORE PRESSURE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL THAN USUAL TO SLOW DOWN THE VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT PLANNED TO HAVE THE MECHANIC REPAIR THE VEHICLE THIS WEEK.

THE TRUCK IS INTERMITTENTLY HARD TO STOP, I BELIEVE IT IS LOSING VACUUM. I'VE HAD A MECHANIC LOOK AT THE TRUCK AND THEY CANNOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THIS IS INTERMITTENT AND I'M SCARED TO DRIVE THE TRUCK. THIS ONLY SEEMS TO HAPPEN AT LOW RPM. I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED BECAUSE THE ISSUE COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I'M A 235 POUND MALE AND I BELIEVE A SMALLER PERSON WOULD HAVE EVEN MORE TROUBLE STOPPING WITH THE SUDDEN LOSS OF VACUUM. I READ IN A FORUM THAT OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AND I SHOULD FILE A COMPLAINT. HAD IT NOT BEEN FOR THE ARTICLE THAT MENTIONED THE NHTSA I WOULD HAVE NEVER FILED A COMPLAINT. I HAVE TO THINK THERE ARE OTHERS DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE AND AREN'T SURE WHERE TO TURN OR REPORT THE ISSUE. PLEASE HELP.

DRIVING NEWLY PURCHASED 2015 CHEVY SILVERADO 1500 AT 35-45 MPH ON FREEWAY (WHICH HAS A 65 MPH SPEED LIMIT). TRAFFIC AHEAD WAS SLOWING DOWN, AND THE BRAKES WERE PRESSED, SPEED WAS REDUCED, BUT WHEN THE CARS IN FRONT (WITH AT LEAST 5 CAR LENGTHS OF SPACE ) SUDDENLY STOPPED, AND I SLAMMED THE BRAKES, THE BRAKES FAILED. I TRIED AND TRIED PRESSING THE BRAKES, BUT THE TRUCK DIDN'T STOP, AND I REAR-ENDED THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME, WHICH ENDED UP REARING THE VEHICLE AHEAD OF IT, AND SO FORTH. DUE TO THE BRAKES NOT RESPONDING, I WAS UNABLE TO STOP LIKE THE REST OF TRAFFIC, AND THUS, CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. (NOTE: THE WEATHER AND ROAD CONDITIONS WERE FINE, NOT WENT ROAD, AS STATED ON POLICE REPORT.)
Service brakes, Mar 9, 2019
BRAKES SUDDENLY REQUIRED MUCH MORE EFFORT TO WORK. HAPPENS FREQUENTLY WHEN APPLYING BRAKES AT LOW SPEEDS, AND OCCASIONALLY WHEN APPLIED INTERMITTENTLY WHILE SLOWING FROM 50-80MPH. EXAMPLES OF WHEN THIS FREQUENTLY OCCURS ARE: ENTERING PARKING SPACES, STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, APPROACHING TOLL BOOTHS ON HIGHWAYS, DESCENDING HILLS, AND ANY SITUATION WHERE BRAKES ARE APPLIED AND RELEASED REPEATEDLY OVER A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. CONDITION CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS AND CAUSE ACCIDENTS. I HAVE NEEDED TO STAND ON BRAKES WHEN STOPPING IN MANY OCCASIONS TO AVOID ACCIDENTS. LATELY THE CONDITION HAD WORSENED AND I DID NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. UPON RESEARCHING THE ISSUE I FOUND MANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS FROM OWNERS AND SURVIVE BULLETINS FROM GM THAT INCLUDE A LARGE AMOUNT OF AFFECTED VEHICLES. THIS SHOULD BE A FORCED SAFETY RECALL.

I HAVE A 2015 SILVERADO 1500 5.3 WITH ABOUT 90K MILES. WHILE I WAS PARALLEL PARKING, AFTER THE 2ND PUMP, I REALIZED THE TRUCK WASNT STOPPING. I HAD TO USE BOTH LEGS TO MAKE IT STOP BEFORE HITTING THE CAR IN THE BACK OF ME AND ALMOST CRUSHING A PEDESTRIAN. MY BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS ARE FINE. I DO HEAR AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE AREA AT ALL TIMES. KINDA LIKE A BAD PULLEY BEARING OR SOMETHING. NOTICED IT THE DAY THE TRUCK STARTED ACTING UP. I LOOKED ONLINE ON MUTIPLE WEBSITES AND UNDERSTAND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE VACUUM PUMP, BRAKE BOOSTER AND MASTER CYLINDER. THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL.
Service brakes, Mar 5, 2019
WHEN ATTEMPTING TO BRAKE, I PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL WITH APPROPRIATE FORCE ONLY TO FIND THAT THERE WAS A LOSS OF BRAKE POWER... I WOULD EQUATE IT TO 85-90% BRAKE LOSS. I WAS ABLE TO APPLY PRESSURE AS HARD AS I COULD AND THE VEHICLE STOPPED OVER DOUBLE THE USUAL STOPPING DISTANCE. I DID END UP GOING THROUGH THE STOP SIGN AND WAS THANKFULLY NOT HIT. I PULLED OVER AND RESTARTED MY TRUCK, I APPLIED PRESSURE TO THE BRAKES AND ALL NORMAL PEDAL FEEL HAS BEEN RESTORED.
