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.

These extinguishers may become clogged, preventing the extinguisher from discharging as expected or requiring excessive force to activate the extinguisher. Additionally, in certain models, the nozzle may detach from the valve assembly with enough force that it could cause injury and also render the product inoperable. For a full list of the affected fire extinguisher models visit: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2017/RMISC-17E062-5427.pdf
In the event of a fire, if the fire extinguisher does not function properly, it can increase the risk of injury.

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.

While entering the vehicle, the seat belt tensioner cable may be positioned such that the driver slides over it. This movement may result in the fatigue and separation of the cable.
If the tensioner cable separates, the driver may not be properly restrained in the event of a crash, increasing their risk of injury.

ON OR ABOUT 4 APRIL, 2017 I EXPERIENCED AN ALARM WHILE DRIVING MY 2014 GMC SIERRA. WHILE TRAVELING BETWEEN CONROE TX AND PLANO TX, I RECEIVED A WARNING STEERING STABILITY. THE ALARM CLEARED SO I CHECKED MY OWNERS MANUAL AND IT SAID TO TAKE IT TO A DEALER IF IT DIDN'T CLEAR. I USED ONSTAR AND HAD A DIAGNOSIS DONE ON THE TRUCK. THEY REPORTED NO PROBLEMS. THE NEXT DAY THE TRUCK SHUT DOWN, IN THE MIDDLE OF MAKING A U TURN. MY DAUGHTER THOUGHT SHE HAD KNOCKED IT OUT OF GEAR BUT COULDN'T GET IT TO START UNTIL SHE TURNED IT OFF AND BACK ON. THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN (THIS TIME TO MY WIFE) TURNING INTO A PARKING LOT. SHE TOOK IT TO A GMC DEALER TO HAVE IT CHECKED OUT. THEY FOUND A BROKEN GEAR IN THE ELECTRONIC POWER ASSIST ASSEMBLY. WE HEARD THAT OUR VEHICLE HAD A RECALL # 17276, FOR PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING. I THEN TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT THE TRUCK AND HAD THE COMPUTER UPDATED TO PREVENT THE PROBLEM. I THEN ASK FOR A REIMBURSEMENT FOR HAVING TO HAVE THE STEERING MODULE AND NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE REPLACED. I CONTEND THAT, AT THE TIME, THE CAUSE OF THE STEERING PROBLEM CAUSING THE TRUCK TO DIE. WHEN I ASK A TECHNICIAN AT MCKINNEY IF THE RECALL WAS FOR THE PROBLEM, HE SAID: NO THAT IS JUST TO CHANGE AN ERROR IN THE COMPUTER. BACK IN APRIL, THE ONLY THING THEY COULD DO TO POSSIBLY PREVENT THE STALLING WAS TO LOOK FOR SOMETHING LIKE A POWER PROBLEM. BEFORE I TOOK THE TRUCK IN I HAD NO INDICATION OF POWER PROBLEMS AND I WAS NEVER TOLD HOW THE NEGATIVE BATTERY CABLE WENT BAD, ONLY THAT IT HAPPENS AND THE TRUCK WAS OUT OF THE 36 MO WARRANTY. I CHECKED ON THE INTERNET TO SEE IF ANYONE ELSE WAS HAVING THE PROBLEM AND WHAT THE SOLUTION TO IT WAS? I SAW SEVERAL PEOPLE WERE HAVING THE PROBLEM, BUT NOBODY KNEW WHAT EXACTLY CAUSED IT. THE CONSUMER REQUESTED TO BE FULLY REIMBURSED FOR THE REPAIRS MADE REFERENCING THE RECALL #17276. *JS

YESTERDAY I WAS DRIVING HOME ON THE HIGHWAY DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 75MPH WHEN WITHOUT ANY WARNING A STABILITY STEERING CONTROL LIGHT FLASHED ON THE DASHBOARD BEHIND MY STEERING WHEEL. THE CAR IMMEDIATELY JOLTED FROM DRIVING MID 70'S DOWN TO AN IMMEDIATE 67MPH. THIS SPEED LIMIT WAS THE LAST THING THAT FLASHED BEFORE MY DASHBOARD BLACKED OUT, THE STEERING COLUMN LOCKED AND THE VEHICLE ENTIRELY LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING. SECONDS LATER MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS SPORADICALLY STARTED MOVING (I DID NOT ENGAGE THE SWITCH) AND I WATCHED THE TEMPERATURE GO UP FROM 70 TO 80 WITHOUT TOUCHING THE GAUGE MANUALLY. THE CAR JOLTED FOR ALMOST 10 MILES SPORADICALLY LOSING CONTROL INTERMITTENTLY AND WHEN I EXITED OFF THE HIGHWAY AND MADE A LEFT HAND TURN AT A LOW SPEED (UNDER 15MPH) THE STEERING COMPLETELY LOCKED AND THE CAR PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TOWARD A CURB. I GAINED CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE MANUALLY WHICH WAS DIFFICULT BUT I DID CORRECT THE DRIVE PATH BACK ONTO THE ROAD. I PULLED INTO THE DEALERSHIP AT A LOW RATE OF SPEED AND THE CAR DID THE SAME THING AS IT DID WHEN I EXITED THE HIGHWAY. I'M IN A LOANER AND THE DEALER HAS MY VEHICLE. THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED USED ROUGHLY 2 MONTHS AGO FROM A REGISTERED GMC DEALER WITH 40K MILES ON IT. IT NOW HAS ROUGHLY 44K ON IT. I HAVE MADE 1 PAYMENT ON THIS VEHICLE THUS FAR.

PRIOR TO THIS THE STABILITRAC WARNING WAS INTERMITTENTLY ALARMING AT RANDOM. THE VEHICLE ALSO LOST ALL POWER AND THE MOTOR DIED AT ONE POINT.

THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD RELEASE , JERK AND LOCK REPEATEDLY, IT HAPPENED ABOUT 4 TIMES WHILE TRYING TO REGAIN CONTROL.

MAYBE THE ANTI-LOCK SYSTEM? THE A/C THEN TURNED OFF AND THE RADIO VOLUME WENT SILENT. THE STABILITRACK SWITCH, A/C CONTROLS AND RADIO CONTROLS WERE ALL INEFFECTIVE.
