SEATS:CRITICAL FASTENERS
- The defect
- General Motors, LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2022 GMC Canyon and Chevrolet Colorado vehicles equipped with a manual passenger seat. The front passenger seat may have a hook attachment that was not properly welded, allowing it to separate from the inboard track of the seat frame.
- What it can cause
- An improperly welded seat frame may not properly restrain the seat occupant, increasing the risk of injury in a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will inspect the front passenger seat and replace the cushion frame, if necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed July 6, 2022. Owners may contact GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782 or Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020. GM's number for this recall is N222368320.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .
How this campaign compares
At 1,631 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 64% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers one model year, 2022, and the defect was reported to NHTSA in 2022, at or before the oldest model year it covers — as current as a recall gets.
Chevrolet vehicles have been recalled over the seats 23 times before this, most recently in May 2022 as 22V359000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 2 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 76 complaints with NHTSA. 1 of those name the seats, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect.
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by General Motors, LLC with NHTSA on May 26, 2022 as campaign 22V375000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
