General Motors is recalling about 16,000 2009 models of its Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia and Saturn Outlook to fixd a problem with the rear seat belt buckle assembly.
The SUVs may have been built with a safety belt buckle in the second or third row that is missing a rivet. In a crash, the buckle could separate from the mounting strap.
Dealers will inspect the buckles and replace them if necessary. The recall began on Nov. 26.
