(May 13, 2015) General Motors is recalling about 469,000 2011-12 Chevrolet Malibus for a steel cable connected to the seat belt that can weaken and break. GM is also recalling nearly 53,000 2015 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon pickups for faulty seat frame attachment hooks.

The Malibu recall covers 437,045 vehicles in the U.S. and 31,842 vehicles in Canada, Mexico and territories.

GM said the flexible steel cable that connects the seat belt to the vehicle in the affected Malibus can wear and separate over time as passengers make seat adjustments, the automaker said in a statement.

Owners of recalled Malibus can bring their cars to dealerships for inspection and replacement of the lap pretensioner, if needed.

The Colorado and Canyon recall covers 48,309 vehicles in the U.S. and 4,620 vehicles in Canada. About 13,000 of the vehicles are still in U.S. dealer stocks.

GM said the seat frame attachments in the 2015 Colorado and Canyon may not have been properly attached to the vehicle body during assembly. If the part was improperly attached, the front of the seat may not remain secured to the vehicle in the event of a crash.

Dealers will inspect affected trucks to assess whether the seat frame attachment hooks need repair.
