The affected vehicles were manufactured from Oct. 12, 2011, through Aug. 30, 2012, (check your vehicle’s build date on a sticker on the driver-side doorjamb) and use head restraints that may not lock in the upright position, failing to comply with federal head restraint height safety standards. This could lead to an increased risk of head and neck injury in the event of a crash.
GM started notifying owners earlier this week, and dealers will replace the head restraints for free. Owners can call GM at 800-458-8006 or NHTSA’s vehicle safety hotline at 888-327-4236 for more info.

Hellbent on finding a journalism job after earning an English degree from DePaul University, I stumbled into the automotive industry in 2003 — much to the delight of my Corvette-obsessed dad. After working as an editor at Consumer Guide Automotive for several years, I joined Cars.com in 2011 and am currently an expert reviewer, certified car-seat technician and mom of three. I wear a lot of hats — many of them while driving a minivan. My first car was a 1994 Mercury Tracer, and I currently drive a 2012 Mazda5.
