General Motors is releasing Upcoming Safety Recall N222372380 today with


an interim inspection. The total number of U.S. vehicles involved is
approximately 483,641. Please see the attached bulletin for details.

The parts needed to complete the required repair are not yet available. All
VINs will be placed in Incomplete Remedy Not Available status.

This bulletin contains an inspection procedure for both dealer inventory and
customer vehicles. It is estimated that a very small percentage of the involved
vehicles will fail the inspection and require part replacement. Vehicles (both
dealer inventory and customer owned) that pass this inspection
procedure should be closed using the “Inspect Only – Vehicle Passed
Inspection (No Further Action Required)” labor code 9106434.

Vehicles in dealer inventory: Vehicles in dealer inventory that do not pass


the inspection procedure contained in this bulletin cannot be sold or
delivered to the customer. When the required parts become available, a
revision will be made to this bulletin, at which time those vehicles can be
repaired, closed, and delivered. Floor plan/WCAP reimbursement will also be
added for vehicles which did not pass the inspection procedure. All involved
vehicles that are in dealer inventory must be held and not delivered to
customers, dealer traded, or used for demonstration purposes unless the
vehicle has passed the inspection procedure contained in this bulletin.

Customer-owned vehicles: If a customer-owned vehicle passes the


inspection procedure contained in this bulletin, the customer should be
advised that their vehicle has passed and there is no need to return their
vehicle to the dealership for service under this recall. If the vehicle does not
pass the inspection procedure, advise the customer to not allow
passengers to use the seating position that failed the inspection until the
seatbelt buckle assembly for that seat has been replaced. Further advise
the customer that GM is working to obtain the parts necessary to complete the
recall repairs and will send the customer a letter when parts are available.

inspection.
