Chevrolet Impala: Seats and Restraints

Affects Chevrolet Impala · 2009–2010 — about 19K vehicles.

The hazard

Certain vehicles fail to conform to Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 210 - Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages. The front seatbelt webbing may not have been properly secured to the lap belt anchor pretensioner mounted to the side of the seat nearest the door. As a result, the seatbelt may not restrain the occupant as intended during a crash, which could result in injury to the occupant. Correction: Dealers will inspect both front seatbelts for proper installation of anchors to pretensioners and, if necessary, reinstall the anchors.
