What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the electronic brake boost may not work properly when there is a partial or full loss of vacuum-brake assist. As a result, the vehicle may not meet the stopping-distance requirements of Canadian regulations.

Why it matters

An increase in stopping distance could increase the risk of a crash.

What the dealer will do

General Motors will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealership to update the electronic brake control module (EBCM) software.

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the rear outboard seats may have had seat belts improperly routed around the rear seat bolster bracket during the manufacturing process. In the event of a crash, improperly routed seat belts may not provide adequate restraint to the seat occupants which could increase the risk of injury.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will inspect the rear outboard seat belts for proper routing and reroute the seat belts as necessary.
