GM Recalls 2019 Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain for Seat Welds

General Motors is recalling 2019 Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain vehicles because insufficient welds on the rear-right seat head-restraint bracket may increase injury risk in a crash.

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 3/5 (High).

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (insufficient welds) that presents a risk of harm in a crash, but the source text does not report any specific injuries or fatalities, aligning with the 'High' severity criteria for risk-of-harm products where injury has not yet been reported.
