   Seat Belts / Front

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   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.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   A broken pretensioner cable reduces the effectiveness of the driver's seat belt, increasing the risk of injury.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   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.

   Report filed by General Motors, LLC. Manufacturer campaign number N212330040. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 5 May 2021.

2. 19V761000Received 24 Oct 2019. 652,967 units.

   Service Brakes

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   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.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   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.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   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.

   Report filed by General Motors LLC. Manufacturer campaign number N192261050. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 11 Dec 2019.

3. 19V645000Received 6 Sep 2019. 3,456,719 units.

   Service Brakes, Hydraulic / Power Assist / Vacuum

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   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.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   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.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   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.

   Report filed by General Motors LLC. Manufacturer campaign number N192268490. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 8 Oct 2019.

4. 17V437000Received 10 Jul 2017. 40,683 units.

   Seat Belts / Pretensioner

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   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.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   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.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   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. GM's number for this recall is 17287.

   Report filed by General Motors LLC. Manufacturer campaign number 17287. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 4 Aug 2017.

5. 17V414000Received 29 Jun 2017. 690,685 units.

   Steering / Electric Power Assist System

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   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.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   If EPS assist is lost and then returns, the driver might lose temporary control of the steering wheel, increasing the risk of a crash.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   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.

   Report filed by General Motors LLC. Manufacturer campaign number 17276. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 10 Aug 2017.
