  400,000 Chevys Recalled For Faulty Seat Belts


The United States National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has notified consumers of a recall affecting 425,593 Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana for the 2003-2006 model years. According to the government agency, some of the front and rear seat belt buckles do not latch or unlatch. The agency also said that "in the event of a crash...occupants may not be properly restrained."

Two conditions affect the seat belts.

The agency also said that dealers will inspect the buckles and, if found to be inoperative, the entire buckle assembly would be replaced. For buckles found to be operative, dealers will replace only the upper buckle cover. The manufacturer has not yet provided an owner notification schedule for this campaign. Owners should contact Chevrolet at 1-800-630-2438 or GMC at 1-866-996-9463.
