Chevrolet Tahoe, Avalanche +2 more: Seats and Restraints

Affects Chevrolet Tahoe, Avalanche, Silverado, Suburban · 2003–2005 — about 73K vehicles.

The hazard

On certain vehicles, the 2nd row centre occupant seat belt routing may make it difficult to position the lap portion of the safety belt low around the hips of occupants. A lap portion of the seat belt routing that is not low and snug on the hips can allow unfavourable occupant kinetics in the event of a crash. Moreover, the higher routing allows the lap belt to ride up on an occupant's abdomen instead of fitting low around their hipbones, and therefore, can expose them to more risk of abdominal and internal organ injury. Correction: Dealers will modify the guide loop.
