GM recalls Chevrolet Malibus, Equinoxes, and Blazers and Cadillac XT4s

General Motors is recalling 221 model year 2021 Chevrolet Malibus, model year 2022 Chevrolet Equinoxes and Blazers, and Cadillac XT4s.

The driver's seat cushion frame may have an improper weld in the power tilt-adjustment mechanism.

An improperly welded seat frame may not adequately restrain the driver in a crash, increasing the risk of injury.

What to do

Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed on July 5, 2022.
