New Recall

14silverado4.3 · April 14, 2016

I was at dealer yesterday working with parts manager. I asked to review my recall information.

He said there was one just released but no information other than it requires a stop delivery order. Meaning they can sell the truck but not deliver until the recall is completed - oh the excitement - what did they find - what are they fixing - I cant wait

If it was a stop sale, it may be a limited number that they need to contain.

I'm waiting for this to become a recall item...

Go check your Crew Cab mount.

Effective immediately, stop the delivery of certain 2014-2015 model year Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Series and 2014-2015 GMC Sierra 1500 Series vehicles in new or used vehicle inventory. General Motors has notified the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) about an upcoming safety recall that involves these vehicles. The GM recall number is 15822.

It is a violation of federal law for a dealer to deliver a new motor vehicle or any new or used item of motor vehicle equipment (including a tire) covered by this notification until the defect is remedied.

General Motors has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain 2014-2015 model year Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Series and GMC Sierra 1500 Series vehicles. The flexible steel cable that connects the driver's seat belt to the outboard side of the seat (the "tensioner cable") can fatigue and separate over time as a result of occupant movement into the driver's seat. In a crash, a fatigued tensioner cable could break, reducing the effectiveness of the vehicle's seat belts increasing the risk of injury to the driver.

Until further instructions are received, involved vehicles that are in dealers' possession (new or used vehicle inventory, GM Certified Used vehicles, courtesy transportation vehicles, dealer shuttle vehicles, etc.) must be held and not delivered to customers, dealer-traded, released to auction, used for demonstration purposes or any other dealer use. All GM Certified Used vehicles currently in the dealers' inventory within the Certified Pre-Owned Inventory System (CPOIS) will be de-certified.

The Investigate Vehicle History (IVH) screen in the Global Warranty Management (GWM) system will be updated for this upcoming recall on April 12, 2016. This action has been taken to assist dealers with determining which vehicles are involved so they can properly respond to customer inquiries.

A list of involved vehicles that have been identified as being in dealer new vehicle inventory is attached to this message. It is sorted by dealer Business Associate Code (BAC) for easy reference. Your dealership's BAC will not be listed if none of the involved vehicles are currently in your new vehicle inventory. A file identifying involved vehicles in dealer used inventory will be published in GM GlobalConnect, under the Service tab in Field Action Inventory Reports.

Until the recall bulletin is released, the Investigate Vehicle History (IVH) screen in the Global Warranty Management (GWM) system will display "N/A" under Release Date and "Incomplete – Remedy not yet available" under Status. This means the required repair is not yet available and dealers should not attempt to perform any repairs.

We are working with the supplier to obtain the required parts as quickly as possible. When the sufficient quantity of parts are available, the recall bulletin will be released and dealers can begin repairing vehicles.

I already fixed this with two zip ties.

I wouldn't even bother taking that in. I would slice a soft rubber hose down the middle of one side and slip it over the cables wherever they rubbed on the frame. That should dampen any noise or negate any rubbing through concerns.

I'd rather they do something about the freakin' Headlamps on the Sierra

Why wait for GM.......a 4 inch strip of door edge molding solves that problem on the double cab

Those are all valid points and I did wrap mine in nylon webbing covered in tape. The main issue is this is brake/safety related and it never should have been engineered this way. A person shouldn't have to make repairs that keep safety parts from failing.
