Recall Alert: 2011-2012 Chevrolet Malibu
Vehicles Affected: Approximately 437,000 model-year 2011-12 Chevrolet Malibu sedans
The Problem: The flexible steel cable that connects the safety belt to the vehicle can separate over time. This increases the risk of an injury during an accident.
“GM knows of 36 claims, no crashes or fatalities and one minor injury reportedly related to the condition,” the automaker said in a statement.
The Fix: Dealers will replace the outboard lap mounting bracket for free. They will also inspect the cable and, if necessary, replace the lap pretensioner for free.
What Owners Should Do: General Motors has not yet announced an owner notification schedule. Owners can call Chevrolet at 800-222-1020 for more information.
