Some Chevrolet commercial trucks built by Isuzu on behalf of General Motors have been recalled due to a manufacturing issue with the seat belt assembly.
The problem: according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) filing, certain Isuzu/Chevrolet commercial trucks equipped with the dual-mode belt locking mechanism seat belt assembly may use belts with improperly manufactured webbing.
The hazards: the NHTSA filing says the seatbelts pose an increased risk of injury, as they may not be able to properly restrain vehicle occupants in the event of a crash.
Affected vehicles: the following GM commercial trucks are affected by this recall. The 3500/4500 trucks reference the Isuzu N-Series based trucks and not the Chevrolet Silverado HD or Navistar-built trucks.
- 2020 Chevrolet 4500HD/4500XD
- 2020 Chevrolet 5500HD/5500XD
- 2019 Chevrolet 4500
- 2019 Chevrolet 3500
Number of affected vehicles: 1,130 vehicles are affected in total. Not all of these are Chevrolet-branded vehicles, however, with certain 2019 and 2020 model year Isuzu NPR HD, NPR XD, NQR and NRR trucks also affected.
Affected components: seat belt assembly.
The fix: dealers will inspect the seatbelts and replace the seatbelt assembly as necessary. These repairs will be done at no cost to the owner.
Owners should: wait for Isuzu to contact them and make an appointment with their dealer. If owners are unsure whether or not their vehicle is affected, they can visit my.gm.com/
