Any one know if this effects the Terrain.
Thanks for posting this is the main Terrain forum. I may have missed this otherwise.Martin3103 said:Any one know if this effects the Terrain.
DavidPJ said:I had the seat belt service performed today on our 2011 Terrain. For reference, the recall is formally called "#10370: Product Safety - Safety Belt Buckle Anchor Fracture - (Dec 17, 2010)". The bulletin applies to the 2011 SRX, Equinox, and Terrain.
The bulletin states that it only applies to certain 2011 of the models mentioned above. Your dealer will make the determnation what is needed based on VIN number. Some models require both driver's and passenger buckles to be modified. Some require only the passenger buckle to be modified. Mine required both buckles to be modified.
The buckle is only modified by bending a tab. Parts are not replaced. The appropriate seat has to be removed in order to modify the buckle.
My GMC dealer promptly took care of the recall service. Because I had some other warranty work done, I can't tell you how long the recall service takes. I waited and my appointment took 2 hours.
Mrmidnite2 said:Well mine is a 2010, and one of a very few issues with my Terrain, is that the drivers seat belt buckle is positioned low, and so close to the centre console that I constantly scrape my knuckles trying to engage the seat belt clamp into the buckle....surely the fixed part of the buckle could have been extended a little higher, so that hands don't get scraped when doing up the seatbelt????
Absolutely impossible to do the seat belt up if wearing gloves....never had this issue with any other car I have owned!!!
I received the Service Recall Notice yesterday. "The driver and/or front passenger safety belt buckle anchor may fracture and separate near the seat attachment in a vehicle crash. If this were to occur, the safety belt system may not restrain the occupant(s) as designed and could increase the risk of injury."OnxBear said:You can acquire seatbelt extentions to solve your issue of lenthening the belt anchor.
There is no charge for this part from GM - at least in Canada anyway.[/color]
