General Motors is recalling more than 17,000 Cruze vehicles from the 2016 and 2017 model years. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration the seats in some of those vehicles may have been improperly manufactured.
The problem is limited to the Cruze’s driver and front passenger seats. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, a bracket on those seats “may have been incorrectly welded to the seat-back frame.” If that’s the case, it’s possible that the head-restraints won’t work as intended, increasing the risk of injury during collisions.
