2021 Chevy Tahoe, Suburban And GMC Yukon Recalled Over Loose Front Seat Bolts
Sponsored Links
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall for the 2021 Chevy Tahoe, Suburban and GMC Yukon over an issue related to the front seat bolts in the SUVs.
The problem: vehicles affected by this recall campaign had to undergo a minor repair during the general assembly process that required workers to remove the driver and front passenger seats. The attachment bolts for the front seats may not have been properly reinstalled after the repair was completed and as such, the front seats may now be loose.
The hazards: if an occupied front seat has loose or missing seat bolts, it may move during a crash. This can increase the risk of injury to the seated occupant.
The fix: dealers will inspect the front seat attachment bolts for both front seats in affected vehicles. If necessary, dealers will tighten the bolts or install new attachment bolts as needed. These repairs will be performed at no cost to the vehicle owner.
Affected vehicles:
- 2021 Chevy Tahoe
- 2021 Chevy Suburban
- 2021 GMC Yukon
- 2021 GMC Yukon XL
Number of affected vehicles: a total of 94 vehicles involved in this recall campaign.
Affected components: front seat attachment bolts.
Owners should: GM will notify owners of affected 2021 Chevy Tahoe, Chevy Suburban and GMC Yukon vehicles and instruct them to make an appointment with their dealer. Those owners who may be unsure whether or not their vehicle is affected by this recall can visit my.gm.com/recalls and type in their VIN to view any open recalls or other actions that may be active on their vehicle. This recall campaign is expected to begin on December 29th, 2020.

GM is striving to catch up with Ford in the number of recalls they are having. “It’s the first year of a new model” is no excuse.
Another sleepy day at the factory.
How does one not catch loose bolts on
seatbelt? Have manufactures stopped doing final inspections? I could see a missing bolt on a front wheel drive transmission. But a damn seatbelt.
UAW, all they care about is money, no sense of quality control.
Wasn’t this a
strikecontract negotiation year?We order a GMC Yukon denial with movable console. Was told that GM quit making that feature. It that’s true
It was just a fixed console with the gold-down bolts left out. You aren’t missing anything.
Judy – I just picked up my 2021 GMC Yukon XL Denali Ultimate last Saturday. It “has” the moveable console. My vehicle was built on 10/31/20. I have not heard anything about GM no longer installing them. Also, to The Gentle Grizzly – this console is larger (front to back), due to the cup holders, for the 2nd row. However, it is very shallow, due to to the secret compartment underneath, which is accessible only when the console is moved.
Time to start up a new site just for all the recalls.
I CAN’T BELIEVE IT!!!!
In October I purchased a 2021 Yukon…My 4th Yukon in a row.
1st- After 1 day of ownership the driverside door handle mechanism broke.
2nd- The air bag warning system had to be fixed. Took two weeks because there was not a fix yet.
3rd- Just got it out of the dealers shop after 1-1/2 days because there was a recall on the braking system computer. Made an appointment…waited for 4 hours and was told it could not be fixed same day because GMs computer was down. Apparently all programs are sent from GM through a satellite.
NOW….per this bulletin….another recall for seat bolts!!
After paying 66k for a 2021 this is surely frustrating not to mention a bit ridiculous!
Wonder if GM will pay us for all the wasted time we spend in the dealers shop????
That is absolutely horrible I work for general motors for over 30 years in the service departments and watched products decline from Roger Smith and now with Yogi Berra at the wheel, it’s a disgrace and they wonder why they lose truck of the year to a Dodge ram, I can’t believe you actually got a thumbs down rating on this must be a GM employee, and GM should reimburse you for the inconvenience.
Thank you James.
Let’s pray there are no more recalls.
