General Motors (GM) is recalling more than 484,000 vehicles over a seatbelt issue that may not properly restrain backseat passengers during a crash, causing an injury.

The recall affects certain 2021 to 2022 Cadillac Escalade, Escalade ESV, Chevrolet Suburban, Tahoe, GMC Yukon, and Yukon XL models that are equipped with third-row seats.

The problem with the SUVs stems from a deformed rivet that retains the seatbelt buckle to the mounting bracket in the left or right side third-row seatbelt buckle assembly that may have been improperly formed during the manufacturing process.

To repair the faulty seatbelt, GM dealers will inspect the rivet head formation on both the left and right side third-row seatbelt buckle assemblies and replace the seatbelt assemblies, as necessary, at no charge to the vehicle owner.
