Supercede:
The Parts Information section in this bulletin has changed for GM U.S. dealers and Canadian dealers/retailers. Parts may not be ordered through
GMSPO. Saturn U.S. retailers are to continue placing an emergency order if parts are required. Please discard all copies of bulletin 08387, issued
November 2008.
It is estimated that less than 250 buckles world-wide will require replacement. Do NOT order parts until the inspection determines the buckle requires
replacement.
Condition
General Motors has decided that certain 2009 model year Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia, and Saturn OUTLOOK vehicles fail to
conform to Federal/Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 209, Seat Belt Assemblies. These vehicles may have been built with a safety belt buckle in
the second or third row that is missing a rivet. In a vehicle crash, if the rivet is missing, the buckle may separate from the bracket. If this were to occur,
the occupant would no longer be properly restrained, increasing the risk of injury.
Correction
Dealers/retailers are to inspect the safety belt buckles in the second and third rows, and replace them if necessary.
