Recall - Manual Seat Adjuster Non-Compliance
Bulletin No.: 06016
Date: June 27, 2006
FMVSS NONCOMPLIANCE
Subject:
06016 - Manual Passenger Seat Adjuster
Models:
2006 Chevrolet Impala
With Manual Passenger Seat Adjuster
Condition
General Motors has decided that certain 2006 Chevrolet Impala vehicles equipped with a manual passenger seat adjuster fail to conform to
Federal/Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 210 for seat belt assembly anchorages. The weld that attaches the passenger seat adjuster to the left floor
mounting bracket may be mislocated and not meet GM's strength specification. In a severe vehicle crash, the seat adjuster may separate from the
mounting bracket, increasing the risk of occupant injury.
Correction
Dealers are to inspect the seat adjuster for a specific date code. All seat adjusters found with that date code are to be replaced.
Vehicles Involved
Involved are certain 2006 Chevrolet Impala vehicles equipped with a manual passenger seat adjuster and built within the VIN breakpoints.
Important:
Dealers are to confirm vehicle eligibility prior to beginning repairs by using GMVIS. Not all vehicles within the above breakpoints may be involved.
For dealers with involved vehicles, a listing with involved vehicles containing the complete vehicle identification number, customer name, and
address information has been prepared and will be provided through the applicable system listed below. Dealers will not have a report available if
they have no involved vehicles currently assigned.
