Every line below is in NHTSA’s own words, with its source beside it.
What’s wrong with it?
If the driver’s seat unexpectedly drops, the distraction and altered seat position may affect the drivers’ control of the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2011-2012 Buick LaCrosse, Regal and Chevrolet Camaro, as well as certain 2010-2012 Cadillac SRX, Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain vehicles, equipped with power height adjustable driver and passenger seats.
In the affected vehicles, the bolt that secures the driver’s and passenger’s power front seat height adjuster may fall out causing the seat to drop suddenly to the lowest vertical position.

- Whether one vehicle or seat has been fixed: only its maker, or NHTSA’s lookup with a VIN, can say.
- This recall names only model years before 2015, which have no pages here. Your VIN, at NHTSA, says which recalls are open on a vehicle.
- How many have been returned or fixed isn’t in the notice.
