14- Airbag#2026246
328 units affected
Issue: On certain vehicles, the driver-front airbag inflator could rupture when the airbag deploys in a crash. If this happens, the airbag may not properly inflate and metal fragments could be propelled toward vehicle occupants. Safety Risk: An airbag inflator that ruptures can create a risk of injury or death. Corrective Actions: General Motors will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to replace the driver-front airbag module.
- Suspension#2021394
26,114 units affected
Issue: On certain vehicles, the adjustable rear toe link may not have been properly tightened during a previous service repair. As a result, the toe link could loosen and eventually separate. This could cause a sudden loss of vehicle stability. Note: You may notice the following warning symptoms if a rear toe link is loose: - sway or wander while driving; - loud metallic or other unusual noise from the rear suspension; - the steering wheel may be off-center; - the Stabilitrak malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) may stay on or flash while driving; - Uneven wear between the rear tires. If you detect these symptoms, you should stop driving and have the vehicle towed to the nearest dealership. Safety Risk: A loss of stability could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective Action: General Motors will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to replace the adjustable rear toe links with a newly designed part.
- Seats And Restraints#2014572
144 units affected
On certain vehicles, the driver's front seat may have been assembled with an incorrect seat track bracket. Driver seats with this condition may not be properly attached to the seat track, which could result in an audible buzz or rattle. In the event of a severe rear collision, a portion of the driver seat – i.e., the front outboard seat bracket – may disengage from the seat track, potentially increasing the risk of injury. Correction: Dealers will inspect, and if required, replace the drivers outboard front seat track hook bracket.
- Suspension#2014406
17,481 units affected
On certain vehicles, the rear suspension toe link jam nuts may not have been tightened to specification. If the vehicle is operated in this condition, the toe link nuts could loosen and eventually separate, allowing the rear wheel to turn inboard or outboard. If this were to happen, sudden changes in vehicle handling could occur, which could result in a crash causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will inspect and ensure the rear suspension toe link nuts are tightened to specification. If required, the rear suspension toe link will be replaced.
- Seats And Restraints#2014311
29,555 units affected
On certain vehicles equipped with power height adjustable front seats, a bolt securing the adjuster mechanism may loosen and fall out. This would cause the seat to drop to the lowest vertical adjustment position, which could affect the driver's ability to safety operate vehicle controls as well as cause reduced driver visibility. These issues could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will replace the bolt.
- Powertrain#2014154
3,306 units affected
On certain vehicles equipped with a 3.6L V6 engine, the transmission control module calibration may cause a three-to-four second delay in acceleration. This will occur if the following sequence is commanded within two seconds: during an upshift from first to second gear (12 – 16 km/h), the driver then brakes the vehicle to less than 8 km/h, and then accelerates again. A lag in acceleration could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will reprogram the transmission control module.
- Wheels#2013166
913 units affected
On certain vehicles, the wheel nuts may have been insufficiently tightened during vehicle assembly. If the wheels have not yet been removed and replaced due to winter tire installation or tire rotation, the wheel nuts may loosen, resulting in possible damage to the wheel studs and/or wheel(s). This could also lead to a complete separation of the wheel(s) from the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property. Correction: Dealers will perform a tire rotation during which the wheel nuts are tightened to specification.
- Powertrain#2013083
1,275 units affected
On certain vehicles, the transmission may shift from Driver Shift Control (manual) to Sport (automatic shifting) unexpectedly. If the driver was slowing the vehicle using DSC (manual) mode to achieve engine braking, engine braking would be cancelled without warning. In conjunction with traffic and road conditions, and the driver’s reactions, this could increase the risk of a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will reprogram the transmission control module.
- Powertrain#2011437
849 units affected
On certain vehicles, the transmission shift cable may have been improperly installed during vehicle assembly. If the cable separates from the transmission, the driver would be unable to shift in or out of gear. As such, the shift lever could be moved into the PARK position while the transmission is still in the last used gear before detachment. If the driver leaves the vehicle without engaging the parking brake, the vehicle could roll away. A rollaway vehicle could strike another vehicle, stationary object, or a bystander, causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, correct the transmission shift cable installation.
- Airbag#2011217
2,622 units affected
On certain vehicles, the Passenger Sensing System (PSS) will turn OFF the right side roof-rail airbag, in some crashes, if the PSS senses the right front seat is not occupied. This differs from the information detailed in the owner's manual. Although the vehicle meets prescribed Standards for side impact protection, failure of the right side roof-rail airbag to deploy during a crash (where deployment is warranted) could increase the risk of personal injuries to the right rear seat occupant. Correction: Dealers will reprogram the Sensing and Diagnostic Module
- Heater And Defroster#2011103
568 units affected
Certain vehicles fail to conform to Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 103 - Windshield Defrosting and Defogging. Software in the Electronic Climate Control (ECC) module may disable the ability to adjust the Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system settings. If this happens, the driver will not be able to control the heating, cooling, and ventilation of the vehicle. Loss of windshield defrosting and defogging function may, under certain driving conditions, compromise the driver's ability to see the road and its users, which could result in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will reprogram the ECC module.
- Seats And Restraints#2010446
13,120 units affected
On certain vehicles, the driver and/or front passenger seatbelt buckle anchors may fracture and separate near the seat attachment during a vehicle crash. If this were to occur, the seatbelt system may not restrain the seat occupant as intended, which could increase the risk of personal injuries during a crash. Correction: Dealers will modify the passenger and, in some cases, the driver seatbelt buckle assemblies.
- Steering#2010325
91 units affected
On certain vehicles, processing of the crimp during manufacture of the power steering pressure line may have damaged the line. If the line was damaged, a power steering fluid leak may develop. If there is a sufficient amount of fluid loss, the driver will hear noise from the power steering pump and increased effort may be required for steering. If power steering fluid flows onto hot engine parts, an engine compartment fire could occur which may result in property damage or personal injury. Correction: Dealers will replace the power steering line on vehicles equipped with a 2.8L engine (LAU). Dealers will also inspect, and if necessary replace the power steering line on vehicles equipped with a 3.0L engine (LF1).
- Engine#2010170
78 units affected
On certain vehicles equipped with a 2.8L V6 engine, if low octane (regular) fuel is used in the vehicle instead of the required high octane (premium) fuel, as stated in the owner manual and on the fuel filler door, the combination of regular fuel usage and aggressive driving maneuvers may induce pre-ignition. If pre-ignition occurs, the driver will hear a pinging or knocking sound from the engine, and if the vehicle continues to be driven after the onset of this noise a connecting rod or piston may break, resulting in engine failure which would disable the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash causing property damage, personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will reprogram the engine control module.
