SEAT BELTS
If the tensioner cable separates, the driver may not be properly restrained in the event of a crash, increasing their risk of injury.
7 safety recall campaigns, 111 owner complaints filed with NHTSA.
Complaints are reports from owners of this model year, not findings about any particular vehicle, and a model that sold in large numbers will collect more of them. They are counted here as filed; nothing is inferred from them.
If the tensioner cable separates, the driver may not be properly restrained in the event of a crash, increasing their risk of injury.
If stuck in the "Start" position, the ignition may suddenly snap back into the "Accessory" position, causing a loss of engine, steering, and braking power, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash. If the vehicle is in a crash, the air bags may not deploy, increasing the risk of occupant injury.
If the rear axle shaft fractures, the rear wheel may separate from the axle shaft, increasing the risk of a crash.
An unexpected loss of power steering increases the risk of a crash.
A seat that does not stay secured increases the risk of occupant injury in a vehicle crash.
If the transfer case switches to neutral while the vehicle is parked and the parking brake is not in use, the vehicle may roll away increasing the risk of injury to bystanders. If the transfer case switches to neutral while the vehicle is being driven, the vehicle would lose drive power, increasing the risk of a crash.
Two 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADOs can have entirely different histories, and a recall campaign usually covers a build-date window rather than a whole model year — which a VIN does not encode, so only the door-jamb label settles it. Scanning the VIN adds the decode, the crash tests, the fuel economy and the complaints matched to that exact engine, trim and assembly plant.
