GM electric pickup rear centre seat belt bolt may be loose

General Motors is recalling certain 2024 Chevrolet Silverado EV and 2024-2025 GMC Sierra EV pickups because the bolt securing the rear centre seat belt to the seat structure may not be properly tightened.

What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).

The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: Rubric level 4 covers structural vehicle defects: the anchorage bolt is the structure that holds the seat belt to the vehicle, and the source states an occupant may not be restrained as intended in a crash.
