GM will be recalling most of the Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyons produced for a seat connection issue. The seat frame attachment hooks don't meet the current federal standard and will be changed.

There are no parts involved in this. It is an inspection and if necessary removal and proper re-installation of the seats.

 

Front Seat Hooks Not Installed Into Underbody

 

Condition

 

General Motors has decided that certain 2015 model year Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon vehicles fail to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 207, ”Seating Systems” and Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) 207, “Anchorage of Seats.” In these vehicles, certain seat-frame attachment hooks that secure the front of the driver’s and/or front passenger’s seat may not have been properly attached to the vehicle body during the assembly process. Where this condition is present, the seats may not remain in the position required by FMVSS/CMVSS 207 during certain crashes. Where this condition is present, the front of the seat may not remain secured to the body of the vehicle in a crash, increasing the risk of injury.

Correction

Dealers are to inspect both front seat hooks for proper engagement with the floor pan. If improper seat hook engagement is noted the affected seat(s) are to be reinstalled with the seat hooks engaged.
