2002 Chevrolet Trailblazer & 2002 GMC Envoy + 1 more recall: seat belt

⚠️ What's wrong

Certain light duty pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles fail to conform to federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 209, "seat belt assemblies." one of the two sensors in the driver's and front passenger's seat belt retractors could be inoperative. The seat belt retractors will lock when the belt webbing is extracted during a crash; however, the mechanism that locks the seat belt retractor when the vehicle decelerates quickly, such as heavy braking, may not operate as intended.

💥 The risk

If this were to occur, the safety belt may not restrain the occupant as intended during a crash, and could result in injury to the occupant.

🔧 The fix

Dealers will inspect the driver and front passenger safety belt retractors, and replace them if necessary. Owner notification began on june 24, 2004. Owners should contact chevrolet at 1-800-630-2438, GMC at 1-866-996-9463, or oldsmobile at 1-800-630-6537.

Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
